Transforming your home can be as easy as a lick of paint, changing the feel of any space with a beautiful new colour. Whether you are looking for a calming and serene blue for the bedroom, or stylish and elegant greys for the kitchen. You could even go for a single bold colour for a feature wall in your living room, or create a sense of depth with darker paint colours in alcoves or behind wall shelves.
While we go to great lengths to ensure our photography captures the essence of our paint options. If you have any questions do pop into our store in Chelmsford. You can run through your paint options with owner Alison (Ali), or a member of the team, who will be more than happy to offer guidance.
Due to the characteristics of the different finishes, some variation may appear when painting with multiple finishes such as Ultra Flat Resistance & Eggshell or Gloss together. This is due to the perception of the gloss levels in the paint.
The sheen level of darker colours will often appear higher than in paler colours due to the different pigment formulations.
However, it is worth bearing in mind that whilst we calibrate each colour for best representation on screen, a screen only uses three colours, red, green and blue, whilst resolution, brightness and contrast settings will vary by device. Our paint is mixed from 16 unique colourants combined with one of three distinctive base shades in varying micro-formulations so seeing it on screen will never offer an exact representation.
