Cloud Painters are professional painters and decorators London with over 10 years’ experience. London, of course, is our capital city. It is a place that thousands of people live and come into to work and visit every day. It stands on the banks of the River Thames and it was founded by the Romans.
It has many famous buildings, but the one most visitors make sure they see when they are in London is Buckingham Palace. The Palace has around 600 rooms, including 78 bathrooms, 52 bedrooms and 92 offices. Cloud-Painters wouldn’t mind a contract for painting that lot!
When the Queen is at home you will see the Royal Standard flying from the flagpole. The Royal Standard is yellow, red and blue, unlike the Union Jack which is blue, white and red.
If you want to decorate your home in traditional royal colours, bold reds can make a dramatic focal point in a room if you paint one wall. Red matches. A playroom or bedroom will look stunning if you have blue walls, white window frames and a piece of red furniture to catch the eye. Yellow, as used in the Royal Standard also combines well with red. A yellow hallway gives the feeling of light and space if it’s a small area. It’s also a nice colour for a dining room as it’s bright and cheerful.

The Importance of Proper Preparation
A beautiful, long-lasting paint finish starts long before the first coat is applied. At Cloud Painters, we place great emphasis on thorough preparation. This includes cleaning surfaces, sanding rough areas, filling cracks and holes, and applying appropriate primers and undercoats. Skipping these steps can lead to peeling, blistering, or uneven colour, especially in older London properties where walls may have decades of paint layers.
We also take care to protect your furniture, floors, and fixtures. Dust sheets, masking tape, and plastic coverings are used as standard, and we remove or cover light switches and socket covers as needed. Our team works methodically, ensuring that every edge is crisp and every surface is smooth.
For exterior work, we pay special attention to weather conditions. London's damp climate means we choose paints with excellent moisture resistance and apply them only when temperatures and humidity are suitable. This ensures the finish will withstand rain, frost, and UV exposure for years to come.
Decorating Ideas for London Homes
London homes come in all shapes and sizes, from compact flats to grand townhouses. The right colour choices can make a small space feel larger, a dark room feel brighter, or a large room feel cosier. Here are some ideas inspired by the city's diverse architecture:
- Georgian and Victorian properties: high ceilings and ornate cornicing look stunning with heritage colours such as soft greys, warm creams, and muted greens. Consider painting woodwork in a contrasting shade to highlight original features.
- Modern apartments: clean whites and cool greys create a sleek, minimalist look. Add a bold accent wall in teal, navy, or mustard to inject personality.
- Small rooms: light, reflective colours like pale blue, soft pink, or off-white make a room feel airy and open. Avoid dark colours on all walls, but a single dark feature wall can add depth.
- Hallways and landings: these high-traffic areas benefit from durable, washable paints in mid-tones that hide scuffs. A bright colour can turn a narrow hallway into a welcoming entrance.
If you're unsure about colour choices, our team can provide samples and advice. We stay up to date with current trends while respecting the timeless appeal of classic palettes.
Commercial Painting for London Businesses
First impressions matter, and the appearance of your business premises speaks volumes about your brand. Cloud Painters works with retailers, offices, restaurants, and other commercial clients across London to create spaces that attract customers and boost employee morale. We understand the need to minimise disruption, so we can work evenings, weekends, or in phases to keep your business running.
Our commercial services include repainting shopfronts, refreshing office interiors, and applying specialist coatings such as anti-mould or fire-retardant paints where required. We also handle larger projects like apartment block communal areas and hotel refurbishments, coordinating with other trades as needed.
All our work is carried out to the highest health and safety standards, and we provide full documentation and warranties for commercial projects. From EC1 Finsbury to EC4 St Paul's, we have built a reputation for reliability and quality among London's business community.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions we receive from London clients:
How long does a typical room take to paint?
Most average-sized rooms take 1-2 days, including preparation and two coats of paint. Larger rooms or those requiring extensive repairs may take longer. We'll give you a clear timeline in your quote.
Do I need to move furniture out?
Not usually. We can work around most furniture, covering it with dust sheets. If a room is very crowded, we may ask you to move a few items to create space, but we'll discuss this in advance.
Can you match existing colours?
Yes, we can match almost any colour using a sample or a paint code. We can also advise on complementary shades if you're looking to change the scheme.
Are you insured?
Absolutely. We carry full public liability insurance for your peace of mind. We're happy to provide proof on request.
Do you work weekends?
Yes, we understand that many Londoners have busy schedules. Weekend and evening appointments are available, especially for commercial projects where minimising downtime is crucial.
