Client: Ms Tamsin Bloom, Family Residence, Ingram Avenue NW11

Set in one of Hampstead’s most exclusive residential streets, Ms Bloom’s detached contemporary-classic home featured high-spec walnut joinery, expansive custom cabinetry and decorative plaster ceilings throughout. However, over time, the family’s daily use — along with pets and frequent entertaining — had dulled the cabinetry’s appearance, chipped panelled edges and left fine scratches across painted surfaces. Ms Bloom wanted the entire ground floor’s joinery to be hand-finished in a softer colour palette without stripping back the woodwork’s character. Every change had to integrate seamlessly with the original interior design choices, including lighting and adjacent marble finishes.

 JRSL Interiors approached the task methodically:

Assessment & Colour Matching: We prepared samples in the property to evaluate how alternative tones reacted to natural and artificial light. A heritage satin-finish paint was selected for its resilience and low reflectivity.

Surface Preparation: All cabinetry was gently abraded and degreased. Damaged edges were filled with specialist joinery resin and primed to ensure a uniform surface.

Hand-Painting Technique: We used ultra-fine sable brushes for detailed cornices and edge lines, applying multiple thin coats by hand to avoid brush marks or overlapping strokes.

Blending Decorative Features: Ceiling roses and cornices were cleaned and finished with a pearl-wash glaze to reflect ambient lighting. We matched bespoke colour tones across thresholds to maintain visual continuity.

Dustless Execution: HEPA-filtered extraction units were used throughout, with all work areas sealed nightly and left spotlessly clean by 7 am each day.

The joinery now gleams with refined elegance, retaining the tactile warmth of natural wood but refreshed with soft, contemporary colour. The space feels brighter, more cohesive and visually balanced across zones. Ms Bloom and her family could continue living at home without disruption and all entertaining spaces were available every weekend as requested. The transformation felt effortless but was underpinned by precise planning and deeply skilled execution.

"JRSL Interiors were simply fantastic. I dreaded the upheaval — repainting cabinetry can be messy and unpredictable — but their team was composed, methodical and extraordinarily protective of our home. The finish is exceptional. Our kitchen and library feel brand new, yet nothing looks out of place or overdone. They matched every tone to the stone and flooring. We barely noticed they were here during the week and the place looked untouched every morning. I trust them completely and highly recommend them."
