Project Showcase: Transforming a Mount Lawley Heritage Home with Bold European-Inspired Colours
In the heart of Mount Lawley, WA, lies a charming home built in 1940, nestled on a 371 m² plot. This residence, rich with history and character, was in need of a vibrant transformation. The client, inspired by their travels through Europe, sought to replace the bland white interiors with bold, lively colours that would breathe new life into their beloved home.
The Challenge:
The project was far from ordinary. The client’s vision was to bring the rich, dynamic hues they admired in European architecture into every room. This wasn’t just about painting walls; it was about creating a seamless flow of colour from the walls up into the cornices, a task that required precision and attention to detail.

This wasn’t just about painting walls; it was about creating a seamless flow of colour from the walls up into the cornices, a task that required precision and attention to detail.
Working with bold colours presents its own set of challenges. Unlike neutral tones, vibrant colours demand perfection in every stroke. Any mistake would be glaringly obvious, making it essential to achieve sharp, clean lines throughout the project.
The Process:
We began by carefully selecting the colour palette with our in-house colour consultant, ensuring that each hue complemented the home’s unique architectural features while reflecting the client’s vision. The preparation phase involved meticulously repairing any imperfections on the walls and ceilings to provide a flawless canvas for the new colours.
As we moved into the painting phase, the level of detail required was intense. Each wall had to be painted with utmost precision, ensuring the colour extended smoothly into the cornices without any bleeding or uneven lines. This required a steady hand and an eye for detail, as even the slightest deviation could disrupt the harmony of the bold colours.
