About Fulham
Fulham has transformed over the past two decades from a relatively modest residential area into one of London's most sought-after family neighbourhoods, and its painting and decorating needs reflect this evolution. The Victorian terraces that dominate the area — long, handsome streets of two and three-storey houses stretching from Parsons Green to Fulham Broadway and down to the river — are the workhorses of the London housing market, and their owners invest significantly in interior decoration to create the open-plan, light-filled family homes that the area is now known for. Munster Road, Settrington Road, and Hurlingham Road exemplify the Fulham terrace at its best: bay-windowed, well-proportioned houses with manageable gardens and period details that respond beautifully to thoughtful redecoration. The area south of New King's Road towards the river contains the grander properties — the detached and semi-detached houses of Hurlingham, where membership of the Hurlingham Club defines the social geography. Our work in Fulham is often more contemporary in character than in our conservation area locations: clients here favour clean, modern palettes — Farrow & Ball's Wimborne White, Skimming Stone, and Strong White are perennial favourites — applied throughout open-plan kitchen-diners, loft conversions, and newly excavated basements. The volume of property renovation in Fulham means we work alongside building contractors, kitchen fitters, and interior designers as part of larger refurbishment projects.
Our Wallpaper Approach
Wallpaper installation begins long before the first drop is hung. We inspect walls for imperfections, applying skim coats or lining paper to create a perfectly smooth and uniformly absorbent surface. The type of lining paper and the direction of hanging are chosen to complement the final wallpaper, preventing joins from aligning and reducing the risk of shrinkage gaps. When working with expensive hand-printed or hand-painted wallpapers, we plan the layout meticulously. Each panel is dry-fitted and numbered before any adhesive is applied. Pattern repeats are calculated to ensure that the most prominent wall in the room carries the strongest visual impact, and that cuts and joins fall in the least conspicuous positions. Our hangers work in pairs for large-format and heavy papers, ensuring that each drop is positioned accurately and smoothed without trapping air. We never rush the process, allowing proper booking times for paste-the-paper products and cleaning adhesive from surfaces immediately to prevent staining. Beyond standard decoration, our local expertise in Fulham includes comprehensive wallpaper fitting, specialist bespoke wallpaper installation, and full-service hand-printed wallpaper hanging. We are recognized throughout the Hammersmith & Fulham area for our meticulous approach to wallpaper installation London, ensuring every project meets the uncompromising standards expected by our clients.

Properties in Fulham
Fulham's property market is dominated by the Victorian terrace, ranging from modest two-bedroom cottages on streets like Reporton Road and Musgrave Crescent to substantial five-bedroom family houses on Ellerby Street and Rannoch Road. The classic Fulham terrace features a bay-windowed reception room, a narrower dining room behind, and a kitchen extension leading to a garden. Upper floors typically have three or four bedrooms with original fireplaces and cornicing. Many have been extended into the loft and excavated into the basement, creating up to five floors of living space. The Hurlingham area south of New King's Road offers larger, more individual properties — Edwardian houses with wider frontages, deeper gardens, and distinctive red-brick detailing. Along Wandsworth Bridge Road and Fulham Palace Road, the character is more commercial, with flats above shops and some modern developments. The riverside around Fulham Reach and Imperial Wharf has seen extensive new-build apartment development, introducing contemporary painting requirements — spray finishes, feature walls, and high-specification joinery work.
