View of restored interiors with clean surfaces and light

Clean surfaces reframe space. Post‑restoration finishes and lighting reveal profiles and details anew.


💡 Notes

  • Brightness: Soot removal boosts luminance.
  • Textures: Stone grain visible.
  • Perception: Ritual spaces feel renewed.

🖌️ Finish Schedule

  • Stone: Gentle washing, no harsh chemicals.
  • Metal: Polish and protect.
  • Wood: Oil and wax where appropriate.
