Our story

Our company was founded by Steve, whose passion for transforming spaces goes beyond just decoration – it’s about craftsmanship, care, and bringing each client’s vision to life. With over 30 years of hands-on experience, Steve blends expert interior decorating skills with a personal, consultative approach that ensures every project is tailored and beautifully executed. As a City & Guilds Advanced Craft Level 3 qualified decorator, the highest qualification in the trade, Steve’s portfolio spans everything from restoring historic castles to styling modern show homes, always delivering a flawless, lasting finish.

Career highlights

From landmark restorations to modern residential spaces, Steve’s career has been defined by quality and creativity. His work includes iconic projects like Euro Disney’s Cinderella Castle, the Back to the Future Bar, and the restoration of Grade 1 and 2 listed castles in Holland throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Back in the UK, he’s partnered with major developers such as David Wilson Homes and Miller Homes, creating finishes that leave a lasting impression.

Today, Steve continues to work across Nottingham, the Midlands and London, serving small developers, businesses, and private clients. From residential homes and student accommodation to schools, churches, private estates, and listed buildings, every project is delivered with the same dedication to craftsmanship, care, and precision.
