Homeowner pitfalls before booking a decorator in Belgravia
A frequent mistake on decorating briefs for Belgravia is choosing colour before photographing cracks, damp or failing plaster — paint over unresolved moisture fails early.
Another is assuming exterior colour can change freely. In Belgravia, conservation or estate rules on stucco terraces & mansion flats may require consent for elevational colour changes even when internal redecoration does not.

Leaving “prep included” vague almost always under-scopes period rooms in Belgravia. Ask for preparation as a written line, not a verbal promise.
