RFDR Decorating has been serving customers since 1991. Richard Reynolds began painting and decorating as a teenager when he was granted parental permission to lead the care of their family home in Holsworthy, a large Victorian Rectory. It was transformed room by room and became a showcase for attracting paying clients across the town and beyond. He took holidays to Totnes for more decorating and training within his Totnesian grandmother’s home.  For several years in the mid 1990s he was the go-to decorator at the stately Parnacott House before moving away from Devon.

His homes have featured in the annual Open House London weekend, welcoming in several hundred visitors in one afternoon. In between a desk job of twenty years in advertising agencies developing campaigns for brands such as Terry’s Chocolate Orange and Kikkoman Soy Sauce, Richard has regularly donned his overalls to decorate both as a regular hobby and as occasional employment in period and modern properties in London. He returned to Devon in 2017 with his young family where he is renovating their listed cottage with many traditional materials and techniques.
