Specialist classical finishes

At Barrington Decorators, we’re renowned throughout the Cotswolds and the UK for our classical decorative finishes. From gilding, distressing, and hand-painted stencilling to traditional sign writing and expressive paint effect techniques—including Drag and Rag finishes—we bring character and craftsmanship to every surface.

Each finish is designed to reveal the decorator’s touch, enhancing interiors with charm, heritage, and individuality. Whether you're restoring a period property or adding classical elegance to a contemporary home, we provide expert detailing, specialist repairs, and bespoke design solutions.
