Cardiff has many different building styles, so picking the right colours is important.

Victorian terraces in Roath and Canton look great with warm, rich colours that show off their original features.

Modern apartments in Cardiff Bay work better with neutral colours and bold feature walls.

Cardiff's changing weather means many living rooms need artificial lighting most of the time. This makes choosing colours really important for keeping rooms bright and welcoming all year round.

North-facing rooms need warmer colour undertones, while south-facing spaces can use cooler blues and greys that match our seaside location.



We suggest earthy colours like warm greys, soft beiges, and muted greens. These colours work well with Cardiff's natural surroundings and give you a timeless look that's easy to update with new accessories and furniture.

Our years of experience painting Cardiff living rooms means we understand what different room types need. Each living room has unique challenges that we handle with proven approaches developed across hundreds of Cardiff projects.

Victorian Terrace Living Rooms

You'll find these throughout Roath, Canton, and Cathays. They have high ceilings, original decorative features, and bay windows. We highlight these period details while updating the colours for modern life. These rooms often have picture rails and decorative plasterwork that need careful colour matching between walls, ceilings, and features. Our experienced team handles high ceiling painting with ease.

Edwardian Property Living Rooms

Common in Llandaff North and Whitchurch, these rooms are spacious with beautiful fireplaces as the main feature. We focus on showing off these elegant proportions while using contemporary colours that work for today's living but still respect the house's history.

1930s Semi-Detached Living Rooms

Popular in Rhiwbina and Llanishen, these have medium-height ceilings and built-in alcoves next to the chimney. We create smooth colour flows between alcoves and main walls, often using different but matching tones to separate different areas of the room.

Modern Apartment Living Rooms

Common in Cardiff Bay and the city centre, these open-plan spaces need smart colour choices to define the living area within bigger spaces. Lower ceilings work best with lighter colours and carefully decorated feature walls that add interest without making small spaces feel cramped.

Period Conversion Living Rooms

Found in converted Victorian and Edwardian houses across Cardiff, these rooms often have unusual angles, exposed beams, or quirky shapes. We make these interesting features look great while creating colour schemes that bring challenging layouts together. Our experienced period property painters know how to preserve historic features.

New Build Living Rooms

Found in new developments around Cardiff's growing areas, these usually have contemporary layouts with kitchen-diners. We focus on adding warmth to potentially plain spaces while working with the modern fittings and fixtures that come with these properties.
