Glasgow Southside

Tall rooms that suit strong colours

The Southside has some of Glasgow's best period housing: sandstone tenements in Shawlands, Strathbungo and around Queen's Park, large Victorian villas in Pollokshields and Dumbreck, and early twentieth-century houses with deep bay windows in Newlands. The rooms are tall, with picture rails, cornices, ceiling roses and original fireplaces, and they carry strong colours well.

Recent jobs here include a drawing room overlooking Queen's Park in deep green with the cornice and ceiling rose kept light, a Strathbungo hallway with geometric wallpaper and black doors, and bay window rooms in Newlands hung with floral wallpaper. We fill and sand old plaster and woodwork properly, protect floors and fireplaces, and in flats we keep the close and the stairs clean.

FAQ

Questions from Glasgow Southside

Which parts of the Southside do you cover?

All of it: Shawlands, Strathbungo, Pollokshields, Dumbreck, Govanhill, Queen's Park, Langside, Battlefield, Mount Florida, Cathcart, Newlands and King's Park. We are based in Neilston, just outside the city.

Will a dark colour work in a period room?

Usually, yes. Tall Southside rooms take deep greens, blues and greys well, especially with the cornice, ceiling and woodwork kept light. If you are unsure, we can put a sample on the wall before you decide.
