A little colour goes a long way
Never underestimate the power of a smaller project. A 750ml tin is perfect for those quick, satisfying updates that instantly refresh a space, such as introducing a bold accent, playing with contrasting colours, or experimenting with new ideas.
Open up to colour
An interior door is the perfect place to have a little fun with colour without committing to a whole room. Whether you choose an eye-catching contrast or a softer tonal look, a painted door can add character and definition to any scheme.
Recommended finish: Use Flat Eggshell for a subtle sheen, Modern Eggshell for a mid-sheen finish; Full Gloss for high shine; or Dead Flat for an ultra matt finish.
A brighter outlook
A freshly painted windowsill can subtly transform a room, framing the light and bringing a more considered feel to the space. It’s a small detail, but one that can make everything around it — from curtains to walls to greenery — feel more intentional.
Recommended finish: Use Flat Eggshell for a subtle sheen, Modern Eggshell for a mid-sheen finish; Full Gloss for high shine; or Dead Flat for an ultra matt finish.
Take the colours you love outdoors
Painted planters are an easy way to extend your decorating style outside, brightening up doorsteps, balconies or garden corners. Playful colours can add contrast and charm, while softer tones help create a calm and coordinated outdoor scheme.
Recommended finish: Exterior Eggshell adds a soft, low-sheen finish to wood or metal, while Full Gloss offers a mirror-like shine.
Medium projects (2.5L)
Easy ways to refresh your rooms
Mid-sized projects are where decorating starts to feel transformative, and a 2.5L tin opens up plenty of possibilities. Rethink a space, experiment with atmosphere and bring new energy into the rooms you use every day.
New look, new feel
A smaller bedroom is the perfect canvas for colour. You can keep things light and airy, choose warm and calming, or pick something darker and more cocooning. Whichever you prefer, a fresh palette can completely change how the space feels — and how you feel in it.
Recommended finish: Use Dead Flat for an ultra matt finish (2% sheen) or Modern Emulsion for a matt finish (7% sheen).
Refresh your ideas
A change of colour can work wonders for a workspace - and it can even add a little inspiration to your day. Cool blues and greens bring an air of calm concentration; bold, bright colours will enhance creativity; while darker tones can help boost focus.
Recommended finish: Use Dead Flat for an ultra matt finish (2% sheen) or Modern Emulsion for a matt finish (7% sheen).
Repaint your favourite furniture
From dining chairs to chests of drawers, painted furniture is one of the easiest ways to update a room. A fresh coat of paint can highlight beautiful details, introduce new colours, or tie existing pieces into a wider scheme, making them feel brand new again.
Recommended finish: For interior pieces, choose ultra matt Dead Flat , Flat Eggshell for a subtle sheen, Modern Eggshell for a mid-sheen finish, or Full Gloss for high shine. For outdoor wood or metal furniture, use Exterior Eggshell or Full Gloss .
Large projects (5l)
Time for a full refresh
When you’re ready for a bigger transformation, a larger project can completely redefine how a space feels. From creating warmth and atmosphere to making rooms feel brighter, calmer or more dramatic, a change of colour can reshape every day.
Walls: Card Room Green No.79, | Cabinets: Pink Ground No.202
Transform the heart of the home
Kitchens are full of life, so they deserve colours with just as much personality. For a relaxed, timeless feel, choose neutrals and nature-inspired shades; pick reds or yellows to create a vibrant, social space; or try deeper shades to add a touch of luxury and drama.
Recommended finishes: Choose Modern Emulsion for the walls and Flat Eggshell or Modern Eggshell if you’re repainting kitchen cabinets.
Make yourself comfortable
Whether you want to use your living room for relaxing or entertaining, colour can help shape the mood of the space. Have fun experimenting with different hues and switch to something lighter, warmer or richer, depending on which suits your pace and lifestyle.
Recommended finishes: Use Dead Flat for an ultra matt finish (2% sheen) or Modern Emulsion for a matt finish (7% sheen).
Make an entrance
Hallways may be transitional spaces, but they set the tone for the rest of your home. A thoughtful colour scheme can make entrances feel brighter, more welcoming and full of character — turning even the busiest of hallways into something memorable.
Recommended finish: Use Dead Flat for an ultra matt finish (2% sheen) or Modern Emulsion for a matt finish (7% sheen).
Why stop at the walls?
If you’re ready for something more immersive, try colour drenching – where you paint walls, ceilings, woodwork and even radiators and floors in the same shade. It may take more than one 5l tin, but the effect is worth it: a space that is beautifully cohesive and completely transformed.
Recommended finish: Dead Flat is suitable for multiple surfaces, bringing a stunning ultra matt finish to walls, ceilings, woodwork, details and floors.
