Red Paint
Whether in your living room, dining room or bedroom, our red paints will create a little added drama. Red is an exciting and punchy colour that still has a warmth about it, making it versatile enough to use throughout the home. From pink tones to dark maroon, you can partner our reds with light grey or neutral paint to create a stunning feature wall.
The art of adding this fiery tone to your home is to use it alongside other colours that harmonise and balance its forceful nature. This allows you to bring out the subtleties of red without overwhelming your space. Red and grey, for example, is a dynamic combination for a modern home, with a warm grey softening the impact of red and giving it a more subtle, approachable character in a living room or bedroom. Team red and pink together and you have a charming ombré effect that can lift a dark space or breathe new life into a dull corner. Gloss red and white in a kitchen gives it that wonderfully modish mid-century vibe, or try something a little more daring by perfectly partnering red paint with a bold signature wallpaper in a living room.
Red can be combined with some surprising partners, such as blue that bring a cooler element to the warmth of red tones. Green works exceptionally well with red, creating a vibrant and striking juxtaposition. Look for wallpaper and wall murals that feature active combinations of red and green and use red to accent the contrast between the two, or try adding black notes for a showstopping look in a bedroom or living room.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are your paints water or oil based?
Each of our paints are water-based, which means they are all low odour and have a lower VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) level than any oil-based paints. It also means they are extremely quick drying, meaning you can get more out of your project in less time. Volatile Organic Compounds contribute to atmospheric pollution when they evaporate (when the paint dries), and they can be found in chemicals used across many industries such as soaps, building materials, and cleaning products.
What’s the difference between your everyday emulsion and resistance ultra durable matt emulsion?
Our Everyday Emulsion has a slight sheen. Our Resistance Ultra Flatt Matt Durable Emulsion has a 1% sheen level with Class:1 Scrubbable classification. But what does this actually mean? Our Resistance Ultra Durable Matt Emulsion is so tough that it will keep its luxurious flat matt finish even after cleaning. That’s right—no lifting paint, leaving white marks, or burnishing when you clean it. It is brilliant for high traffic areas such as hallways and living rooms because of its durability and resistance to bumps and knocks. Our Everyday Emulsion is more suited to lower traffic areas such as spare bedrooms or studies and is perfect for use on any ceilings. Please note: whilst our paints are dry to the touch within a matter of hours, water-based paints take approximately 28 days to fully cure. This is when the paint is 100% dry and has reached its full hardness/durability. Until the paint has fully cured, it will not withstand knocks or wiping/cleaning.
What finish should I use to paint wood and metal?
We would recommend either our Eggshell or Gloss paint depending on how shiny you want your woodwork or metalwork to be. Both paint finishes are scratch resistant, quick drying, odourless, and have great flow, meaning you don’t need to work hard to achieve that smooth and flawless finish. We’d also recommend using our Primer and Undercoat to ensure a smooth application and that you’re left with the best possible appearance once dry. If you’re after a matt finish on your woodwork (or perhaps your furniture), you can also use our Resistance Ultra Durable Matt Emulsion if you then protect it with a topcoat of varnish or wax.
What samples do you have available?
We offer easy to use Peel & Stick samples in our resistance finish across all of our colours. Alternatively we have 100ml tester pots available in our Everyday Emulsion across select colours. We always recommend sampling a product before purchase as colours can appear differently across screens and devices.
