Every surface is treated with care, bringing warmth, depth, and lasting beauty to homes and spaces in Cornwall and across the South West.
Crafted by Hand. Inspired by Nature.
Our work has merged traditional and modern techniques together, creating a blend of beauty and chic. From natural lime washes to modern dead flat sprayed finishes.
Each space is thoughtfully crafted with enduring materials and rich textures, resulting in interiors that are elegant, expressive, and alive with character.
Lime Washing & Natural Paints
Breathable, organic finishes with subtle tonal depth and timeless beauty.

Natural textures that soften modern interiors and complement architectural detail.
Exterior Finishes
Clean & crisp exteriors, designed to enhance and endure.
The Benefits of a Sprayed Finish
A sprayed paint finish delivers a level of refinement that brushes and rollers simply can’t match. Smooth, flawless, and consistent, it creates a professional look across walls, ceilings, woodwork, and even furniture.
Protecting & Enhancing Your Exterior
From masonry and cladding to fascias, soffits, doors, and windows, every exterior surface is constantly exposed to the elements especially on the coast. Sun, rain, salt air, and seasonal changes all take their toll, leading to fading, cracking, and potential damage if left untreated.
Regularly maintaining exterior finishes not only protects against damage but also keeps your home looking its best, enhancing kerb appeal and preserving long-term value.
With Proper Mustard, every stage is handled with precision – from meticulous preparation to the use of premium materials designed to withstand the South West climate. Sharp lines, smooth coverage, and durable finishes mean your property is not just repainted, but elevated.
Investing in your property ensures your home remains protected and looking fresh for years to come.
