A finished room tells you a lot more than a colour chart. This collection brings together decorating jobs from homes and shared spaces around Guernsey, with the actual photos from each project. Where we have pictures from before the work started, you'll see those alongside the finished result. For the other jobs, the galleries show the completed work rather than pretending there was a photographed ‘before’.
From a single wallpapered wall to a whole-house repaint, every space calls for a different approach. Follow the links below to see the full story and photo gallery for each job, or browse all decorating projects.
Whole-home transformations
Full House Conversion
This full house conversion involved re-boarding and dry lining where existing surfaces could not be kept, followed by decoration through the bedrooms, stairs and living spaces. The before photographs show the scale of the preparation; the finished rooms show how the whole property came together.
Full Property Renovation
Bare boarded rooms became a clean, ready-to-live-in home. The photo sets take you from unfinished walls and doorways to painted bedrooms, hallways and storage spaces, including the woodwork that ties the rooms together.
Loft Conversion Painting
A converted loft in Guernsey went from unfinished surfaces to a room with strong green and blue feature walls. The sloping lines and skylights make the careful edges particularly easy to see in the finished photographs.
Townhouse Full Redecoration
A townhouse calls for consistency across floors. Here the loft bedrooms, bay-window sitting room, panelled living spaces and staircase were all repainted, with white trim connecting the warmer wall colours.
Family Home Redecoration
Different rooms needed different finishes: a two-tone hall and toddler's room, a yellow child's bedroom, softer neutrals in the main bedroom and lounge, and wipeable white in the kitchen. The full gallery shows the choices in the spaces they were made for.
Suburban Family Home Redecoration
From entrance porch to upstairs landing, this family home was refreshed in soft neutral walls and crisp white woodwork. Look closely at the banister, doors and dado rails: these details carry the finish between rooms.
Town Apartment Redecoration
In this central Guernsey apartment, a fresh neutral finish lets the bay sash window take the lead. The gallery captures the newly painted walls, ceiling and trim in the main room.
Exterior work in the island light
Exterior Decorating
At the rear of this property, the render, boundary walls and courtyard were repainted in bright white. The photographs show how the renewed walls work with the patio and the clean edges around doors and windows.
Full Exterior Repaint — Slate Grey
A traditional property took on a slate grey exterior, from its textured render to the courtyard walls and coping stones. White windows and trim bring contrast; the gallery also includes a view of the work in progress.
Feature finishes and working spaces
Floral Feature Wall — Wallpaper Hang
This botanical bedroom feature wall was hung for a returning client. The closer angles show the matched pattern and the edge where the new fitted wardrobes were due to meet the paper.
Office Suite Fit-Out
A professional interior depends on more than broad wall colour. This office suite includes French doors, trim and meeting spaces, with photographs of the finished rooms and the detail around the joinery.
St Martin's Community Centre
At St Martin's Community Centre, the main hall, meeting rooms and corridors were refreshed for everyday community use. The photos show the painted walls, dado rails, doors and shared spaces across the building.
