In June 2013, No.1 Royal Crescent was reunited with its original servants’ wing next door following a £5m renovation project. As a result the size of the museum has doubled, giving visitors a much richer insight into the life of residents in the late 18th century – both above and below stairs – whilst bringing the building up to modern standards.

Brintons Archivist, Yvonne Smith, worked closely with the curators of the museum to identify carpet designs which were authentic to the Georgian period. Designs were chosen from Brintons extensive archive which dates back to 1790. It is one of the world's largest commercial design archives and historical pattern libraries in the industry. Designs were chosen for The Parlour, Gentlemen's Retreat Lady's bedroom, Grand staircase and landing areas.
