Living Room Colours for Cardiff Homes
Choosing the right living room colours depends on your property type and which way your room faces.
Victorian Terraces
Victorian terraces in Roath and Canton suit warm, rich colours that show off period features. High ceilings and generous room sizes handle deeper, more dramatic colours.
Modern Apartments
Modern apartments in Cardiff Bay work better with neutrals and bold feature walls that define the living area within open-plan layouts.
North-Facing Living Rooms
North-facing living rooms (common in terraced properties) need warm undertones to counter cool, grey light. Cardiff’s weather means these rooms receive indirect light most of the day, making colours appear darker than paint charts suggest.
South-Facing Spaces
South-facing spaces can handle cooler blues and greys.
Timeless Cardiff Living Rooms
We suggest warm greys, soft beiges, and muted greens for timeless Cardiff living rooms.
Our Living Room Painting Process
Consultation
We start with a consultation about your living room’s lighting, how you use the space, and what you want to achieve.
Protect Furniture and Floors
Protect furniture and floors with professional dust sheets.
Fill and Prepare
Fill cracks, sand rough spots, use proper primers.
Apply Multiple Coats
Using premium rollers and brushes, we apply several thin coats covering ceiling painting first, then wall painting for better colour and longer lasting results.
Drying Time
Let each coat dry completely.
Quality Check and Clean Up
Check everything carefully and clean up thoroughly. Most Cardiff living rooms take 2-3 days.

We create smooth colour flows between alcoves and walls.
Modern Apartment Living Rooms

Open-plan spaces needing smart colour choices. Lower ceilings work best with lighter colours and careful feature wall painting. Many have floor-to-ceiling windows affecting how colours appear.
Period Conversion Living Rooms
Converted Victorian and Edwardian houses with unusual angles or quirky shapes. We preserve historic features while creating cohesive colour schemes, including detailed period property painting work.
New Build Living Rooms
Contemporary open-plan layouts in new developments. We add warmth and character to these spaces.
Cardiff Living Room Challenges
Period Features Need Special Care
Cardiff’s terraced houses make up over 42% of property sales. Most have period features needing expert handling. Plaster coving and cornices often have decades of paint buildup. We cut in precisely to keep detail clear. Ceiling roses need careful work to avoid paint runs on decorative patterns. Picture rails and deep skirting create multiple lines requiring crisp edges.
Room Dimensions Matter
Victorian and Edwardian living rooms (2.6-2.9m ceilings) need 15-20% more paint than modern rooms. We use proper scaffold towers for safe access, not dangerous extended ladders.
North-Facing Terraced Living Rooms
Most Cardiff terraced houses have living rooms at the front, facing the street. This means north-facing rooms with cool, indirect light all day. Colours that look warm in shops often appear flat and grey on these walls. Proper colour testing is essential.
For a complete interior painting transformation throughout your Cardiff home, our experienced team can help you create cohesive colour schemes across all rooms.
