Eco Painters Essex

Delivering high-quality school redecoration in Cambridge requires more than just a fresh coat of paint—it’s about creating spaces that feel engaging, practical, and suited to student life. At HL Decorating, we recently completed a decorating project for a Cambridge school, transforming a temporary sixth form canteen into a bright and welcoming environment.

Choosing the right paint colours for your commercial space isn’t just about appearance—it’s about creating the right environment for your staff, customers, and brand.

At HL Decorating, we’re already seeing clear shifts in what businesses accross London, Essex and Cambridge are asking for in 2026. From warmer tones to bold, brand-led designs, here are the top commercial interior paint trends shaping workplaces across the UK.

Even the most vibrant businesses need a little refresh now and then! At HL Decorating Contractors, we understand that maintaining a professional and inviting atmosphere is crucial, especially for companies at the forefront of the events industry. That’s why we were delighted to assist a leading Cambridge events company with a recent, targeted decorating project.
This wasn’t a major overhaul, but rather a strategic refresh of key areas that, over time, can start to show their age. We focused on invigorating the boardroom, the facilities, and the external front entrance canopy – all high-traffic areas that contribute significantly to a visitor’s first impression.

We’ve all been there. You’ve got a scuff, a mark, or a small repair needed on your wall, and all you want to do is touch it up. But then you hit the snag: you have no idea what the paint colour is called. “Is it beige? Is it greige? Is it ‘Elephant’s Breath’ or ‘Skimming Stone’?” The possibilities can feel endless, and the thought of repainting the entire wall (or even room!) for one small patch is daunting.

Fear not! As your trusted decorating experts at HL Decorating, we’re here to share our insider knowledge on how to match an existing paint colour, even when its name is a mystery. With a little know-how and the right approach, you can achieve a good match.
