Shorditch Loft Gets Gilded Ceiling

This Shoreditch loft project was curated by the designer Alastair Cummings. He has a wonderful eye for the dramatic and experiments with the use of exotic and textures & materials.  He has created an extraordinary makeover using imitation gold leaf usually associated within classical interiors, not lofts.

The warmth and glow from the ceiling against the vibrant green lacquer walls makes the bedroom a sumptuous, stylish haven for the owner of this glorious loft accommodation right in the heart of Shoreditch. There are a couple of photos of work in progress as well of the final room.

Gilded Ceilings

 This ceiling was painted ready for gilding with imitation Silver metal leaf. The leaf is laid out carefully to fit the shape & size of the ceiling. All masking completed to protect tiling etc as the work happens when the bathroom is finished and there is no dust.


The silver reflects light and transforms the ceiling into a bright vibrant plane of colour. This really illuminates and brings a luxurious finish to a contemporary bathroom instead of the usual dull white paint.
