15 Denbigh St
Papers and Paints
We have chosen traditional paints and papers to retain the period feel of the cottage. In the Victorian age, paints tended to be very chalky and of a matt finish. We have kept this in mind whilst selecting paints. All internal paint colours are from the Farrow and Ball paint charts (www.farrow-ball.co.uk) who produce the paints for National Trust properties in the U.K.. The paints were almost all mixed by Resene using a suitable base. All woodwork is painted using a specially mixed Dulux oil enamel to create a low sheen, hardwearing finish.

The wallpaper in the hall is from the Hannafords collection of striped papers. A nightmare to hang, but a beautiful finish.

The carpet in the lounge is a Cavalier Bremworth sisal tone, colour mushroom.
