By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Fitzrovia became known as a hub for artists, writers and intellectuals, with figures such as George Bernard Shaw, Virginia Woolf and Augustus John associated with the neighbourhood. The area also became home to London’s advertising industry, earning it the nickname “Adland”.

Mr Alex Darlington, Private Client, Rathbone Street, Fitzrovia W1

Mr Darlington’s duplex penthouse featured double-height living spaces, minimalist finishes and panoramic city views at the top of a modernist block in Fitzrovia. The client wanted the entire interior redecorated, including ceilings, walls and a large bespoke staircase, but access was strictly limited to overnight hours due to building regulations and neighbour privacy. Spray application was preferred for its high-quality results, but this demanded silent operations, impeccable masking and dustless efficiency. The staircase’s central glass structure added complexity, requiring surface-specific protective coatings and seamless blending with adjacent materials.

 JRSL Interiors implemented a five-step programme:

• Pre-Planning: We completed a comprehensive site survey and created a shift rota for overnight work, ensuring zero disruption to building residents.
• Surface Protection: All surrounding elements — including the glass balustrade, polished concrete floors and HVAC grills — were meticulously masked using static-charged sheeting and dust-proof seals.
• Specialist Spray Setup: A mobile spray booth with low-decibel compressors and filtered extraction was erected. The paint selected was a low-VOC, quick-curing acrylic enamel for walls and staircase timber.
• Layered Application: We applied three ultra-fine coats over five evenings, allowing for proper drying and surface curing overnight before inspection each morning.
• Client Handover: We provided Mr Darlington with complete documentation on paint specs, aftercare and a sealed touch-up kit for future use.

The duplex was transformed without a single complaint from neighbours. The staircase’s matte lacquer finish was indistinguishable from a factory-spray, while the walls reflected light subtly without visible seams or patchiness. Every night’s progress was photographed and logged for the client, who travelled during most of the work. The results met the client’s request for gallery-grade precision while maintaining the penthouse’s architectural clarity.

"I wasn’t sure how they'd pull it off — spray-painting a penthouse quietly, overnight, without disturbing anyone or creating dust and disruption. But JRSL Interiors delivered. The finish is truly superb, the stairs are a work of art and not a single smudge on the glass or concrete. They sent me daily updates with images and a brief summary while I was abroad and when I finally walked into the property, it really was like entering a brand-new flat. IMPECCABLE! - Their attention to detail and care for my home honestly exceeded expectations."
