The Studio

A decorating practice, not a contractor.

Founded by James in 2007, TM Decorating works on a small number of homes at a time. Each project is measured, prepared and finished by hand, with the same eye a cabinetmaker brings to a single piece.

We work alongside homeowners, interior designers and architects who care more about how a room feels in ten years than how quickly it can be finished this week.

Our Process

Five considered stages.

  1. 01

    Initial Consultation

    We walk the space, discuss colour, finish and how you live in the room.

  2. 02

    Detailed Quotation

    A clear, itemised proposal — materials, preparation, timings, no surprises.

  3. 03

    Surface Preparation

    Filling, sanding, sealing. The unglamorous work that defines the result.

  4. 04

    Precision Decorating

    Careful application, crisp cut-ins and consistent, even coverage.

  5. 05

    Final Inspection

    We review every surface together in daylight before we leave.

Client Words

“James treated our home as though it were his own. The finish on the panelling is better than the joinery it sits on.”
