Decorating Balfour Place

Balfour Place is a quiet, exclusive residential enclave in Mayfair situated between Park Lane and Mount Street, developed as part of the Grosvenor Estate in the late nineteenth century. The street features a refined collection of late-Victorian and Edwardian red-brick mansion blocks and terraced properties, their warm brick and stone dressings presenting a more domestic character than the grander stucco streets nearby. Balfour Place sits within the Mayfair Conservation Area and benefits from its tucked-away position offering privacy rarely found at this prime central London address.

The red-brick and stone-dressed properties on Balfour Place require careful repointing before any exterior painting works, with specialist brick cleaners and clear masonry sealants often preferred over opaque coatings to preserve the natural brick appearance. Interior schemes typically demand the highest quality finishes, with many residents specifying lacquered or hand-painted joinery.
