Euston Hall
Case Study: Restoring Elegance at Euston Hall - A Colourwheel Masterpiece
Nestled amidst the idyllic landscapes of Suffolk, Euston Hall stands as a timeless testament to grandeur
and historical significance. The estate has been the seat of the Dukes of Grafton since the 17th century,
with the current custodian, the 12th Duke of Grafton, undertaking a monumental task. The restoration of
Euston Hall and its sprawling grounds have become a labour of love for the Duke, ensuring the
preservation of heritage and splendour for generations to come.
Colourwheel was honoured to be entrusted with a pivotal role in this restoration journey. The task
at hand was no ordinary painting and decorating project; it was an opportunity to breathe new life into the
very fabric of Euston Hall. With the Duke and his family residing within, the stakes were high, and the
expectations even higher.
The project encompassed the transformation of rooms spanning three floors, each with its unique historical charm. Bedrooms, kitchenettes, bathrooms, and dressing rooms all required a delicate touch to
blend the essence of the past with the comforts of the present. The preservation of the historical significance of Euston Hall was paramount, and Colourwheel embraced the challenge with enthusiasm and dedication.
Colourwheel were invited by one of the countries best interior designers for heritage work Wood Clarke, the job to be undertaken was Euston hall home to the duke and duchess of Grafton. Woody was chosen for his expertise in historical heritage buildings and turn to colour wheel for the delicate handling for some of the finest wall-coverings available, many of which were hand printed and therefore demanded a skilled hanger.
Euston Hall has witnessed centuries of history unfold within its walls. The Duke of Grafton’s commitment
to restore this historical gem reflects a deep sense of responsibility towards preserving the heritage of
the estate. Colourwheel embraced this sentiment, ensuring that every stroke of paint, every carefully chosen wallpaper, paid homage to the legacy of Euston Hall.
The completion of the project at Euston Hall marks a significant chapter in its storied history. The Duke and Duchess of Grafton now reside in rooms that echo the grandeur of the past, yet seamlessly embrace the comforts of the present. Euston Hall shines anew, a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and
expertise of Colourwheel.
Colourwheel’s involvement in the restoration of Euston Hall goes beyond a mere painting and
decorating job. It is a collaborative effort to revive and celebrate the rich heritage of a historical landmark.
