Board-and-batten panelling taken from a tired off-white to a deep teal, with the wall above kept light.

The job
The brief
The panelling had years of paint built up on it and a few loose battens. The owner wanted a dark colour without the room feeling closed in.
What we did
Loose battens refixed, every joint caulked and the old gloss sanded back for grip. An undercoat, then two coats of deep teal in a satin that wipes clean.
The finish
Two days. The white wall above makes the teal look richer, and the joints are as clean as the day the boards went up.

I was nervous about a dark colour on old panelling. Now it’s the first thing people notice.
