Paint

Of course! Our in house experts suggest up to four paint colors to complement or even contrast with your chosen Wallpaper, Mural, Curtain and Shade! We understand starting a design scheme can be daunting, so our recommendation is to help you feel confident in your decision!

Choosing your room décor is completely personal so we would still always recommend sampling the recommended paint color(s),

Depending on the device used and screen resolution, the paint colors depicted on the website can appear different to the paint when applied to a surface. We do recommend sampling your color before purchase to ensure you are happy with the final result.

We are unable to accept returns as each can is mixed just for you, to be kinder to the planet.

Our Peel & Stick paint samples are all standard A5 size – 148 x 210 mm (5.8 x 8.2 in).

All our Peel & Stick samples are made with real paint so you can get the most accurate color representation possible. There should be minimal batch variation.

Anything and everything! From walls to wood, if you can paint it you can peel & stick it.

Since our Peel & Stick samples don’t use any glue or adhesives, they are perfectly safe to use on any surface without causing any damage or leaving any marks.

We launched Peel & Stick paint samples as yet another way to care for our planet, so we’ve ensured every single one is recyclable. The backing can be recycled along with plastics, and the sample itself can be recycled with paper.

Peel & Stick samples are a perfect eco-friendly option. Also, due to their ability to be stuck anywhere, you can test the paint color in multiple areas of your home to see how the paint varies in different lights, in every nook and cranny of your room, without leaving any disruption behind!

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. To learn more about the benefits of water-based paints, please see our article.

All our paint is water-based and super low VOC, meaning it uses minimal volatile compounds. We also test to the standard of the French Indoor Air Test, and all our products achieved an A+ rating, safe to breathe and low odour.

Our Wall & Ceiling Paint has a slight sheen. Our Ultra Flat Matte Resistant Emulsion has a 1% sheen level with Class:1 Washable classification. But what does this actually mean? Our Ultra Flat Matte Resistant Emulsion is so tough that it will keep its luxurious flat matte 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. Finally, we also recommend this paint for bathrooms, as it is moisture repellent to reduce dirt and mould build-up. Our Wall & Ceiling Paint 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.

We would recommend either our Eggshell or Gloss paint depending on how shiny you want your woodwork 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 matte finish on your woodwork (or perhaps your furniture), you can also use our Ultra Flat Matte Resistant Emulsion if you then protect it with a topcoat of varnish or wax.

Our Eggshell and Gloss finishes can be used on radiators. We would recommend purchasing a specialised primer for this in order to ensure adhesion.

Using a primer is the best way to ensure a flawless finish with any of our trim paints. Our Primer & Undercoat is quick drying, fills in minor imperfections, and has excellent hiding power, meaning it assists with topcoat adhesion and helps to promote a smooth, even finish.

Our paint finishes have differing coverages due to the nature of the difference in paint properties, and these vary between 10m² and 14m² depending on your finish. Each product has a coverage per square foot/meter on their Product Data Sheets, and each tin of paint shows the maximum coverage for that volume of paint. In order to help work out how much paint you’ll need, please refer to our paint calculator or view our finishes information section on the paint product page.

We always recommend at least two coats of paint, as we can only guarantee product properties at two coats. Our paints have great coverage; we only use high-quality binders and pigments to ensure the best depth of color. Therefore, in most cases, you will not need more than two coats of paint. However, some extra deep and vibrant colors may require an extra coat to achieve their full color depth.

Each paint finish is slightly different in terms of drying time; therefore, please refer to either your tin of paint or the Product Data Sheets below for specific guidance.

We’re so glad you asked! Prep is key to create that flawless finish you’re after. Luckily, we’ve written an easy guide for prep and application of painting walls which you can read (and watch!).

All of our paints can be applied using traditional brushes or rollers; it all depends on the desired final appearance. Paint brushes can be used for cutting in, uneven surfaces or small areas, whereas rollers will give you a uniform, flawless finish on well-prepared walls. For more information on applying each finish, please refer to the Product Data Sheets.

Once your plaster is fully dry, we would recommend you use a specialist plaster mist coat paint to act as a primer. This allows the mixture to soak into the wall and seal the plaster. Then once fully covered, prepped and dried, the fun part begins! Take your pick from our vast range of colors and decorate your home as you normally would.

All our paints are water-based; therefore, warm water with mild detergent will do the trick!
