Oakley Decorating

A full transformation of this large staircase.

Extensive preparation was carried out throughout — stripping walls before the plastering, restoring old woodwork and spindles, and carefully preparing all surfaces before applying a flawless finish even after it had been plastered.

The contrast between crisp white spindles and the dark handrail creates a sharp, elegant focal point, finished with precision across multiple levels.

Preparation. Detail. Craftsmanship.
