London interiors range from compact new-build flats to Victorian houses with three-metre ceilings and ornate cornicing. Interior decorators here need to be as comfortable with a quick rental refresh as with careful work on period joinery.

Period detail and tight timescales
In Victorian and Edwardian homes, a lot of the time goes into the detail: filling cracks in old lime plaster, cutting in around cornicing and ceiling roses, and sanding back layers of gloss on doors and skirting. Hallways and stairwells over several floors need proper platforms.
Flats bring other challenges: lifts that must be booked, building rules on working hours, and landlords or sellers who need a finished property by a specific date. Mention any deadlines when you request quotes.

Before the decorator arrives
- Decide which rooms and surfaces you want done, and whether ceilings and woodwork are included.
- Choose colours, or ask the decorator to bring sample pots, before the start date.
- Finish any electrical, plastering or joinery work first.
- Clear small items and valuables; most decorators will move and cover larger furniture.

Interior painting in London: common questions
How much does it cost to decorate a room in London?
London prices tend to be higher than the UK average. Our cost guide shows indicative UK ranges, but expect London quotes – especially for period rooms – to sit at the upper end or above.
