This staircase decorating project in Wilmslow involved transforming the hallway, stairs and landing with a carefully selected colour scheme and a high-quality painted finish.
Preparation was an important part of the process. Walls and woodwork were carefully prepared, filled and sanded using professional dustless sanding equipment to create smooth surfaces ready for painting.
The ceilings, walls, panelling and woodwork were then decorated with particular attention to detail, creating a welcoming space with a stylish contrast between the lighter walls and darker woodwork.
An interesting feature of this project was the use of AI-generated design inspiration to explore the colour scheme before bringing the ideas to life.
At M.T. Ludlow Decorating Services, I’ve been providing professional painting and decorating services in Wilmslow and the surrounding Cheshire areas since 2008. Every project receives my personal attention, from the initial preparation through to the finishing touches.

For this hall, stairs and landing project in Wilmslow, the brief was to bring a colour scheme from an AI-generated design image into the home.
The design paired lighter upper walls with anthracite grey panelling and woodwork. This combination gave the project a clear direction, with contrasting colours carried throughout the hall, staircase and landing.
Paint Colours and Finishes
The upper walls were painted in Little Greene Rolling Fog Pale, creating a soft, light backdrop.
The lower panelling and woodwork were finished in Dulux Trade Satinwood, mixed to anthracite grey, for a contrasting satin finish.
The ceilings were finished in Dulux Trade white vinyl matt to complete the scheme.

I used the Mirka Delta to sand smaller areas and the Mirka LEROS for the walls, with dust extraction to reduce dust during preparation.
