Decorating Melcombe Street

Melcombe Street is a well-composed residential street in central Marylebone, running parallel to Dorset Square and connecting Baker Street to the genteel streets of the Portman estate. The street is characterised by its Georgian and early-Victorian brick terraces, which maintain a consistent and handsome streetscape typical of the careful planning that distinguished Marylebone's development. The area attracts professionals and families drawn by excellent transport links and proximity to Regent's Park.

Properties on Melcombe Street present classic London stock-brick facades that benefit from careful cleaning and repointing rather than painting, with painted stucco detailing, sash windows, and front doors providing the primary decoration focus. Interior decorating commissions typically involve restoring period features such as ceiling roses and dado rails to a high standard, combined with contemporary colour schemes suited to modern living.
