Customer photo review of Trilogy (381)

This is just one coat of a tester pot! Beautiful colour and amazing paint, dried so well and after trying multiple different colour reds from different companies none of them were giving me what I needed until I found this! Perfect for what I’m going for. Can’t wait to get it finished! 10/10

Customer video review of Drop Cloth (283)

The difference in result between F&B and other brands in well worth the investment. Extensive range of colours and finishes provides the perfect solution, although it's hard to chose sometimes! Not all paint is the same, the quality is obvious from the first stir of a new tin. I've used F&B on several projects now, and I'm a convert for sure.

Customer photo review of French Grey - Mid (162)

Beautiful paint to apply … no drips, no uneven patches, next to no smell, lovely finish. Worth the little extra cost compared to cheaper more common brands. Love it!

3 story townhouse, changing the grey below the dado rail. This should do the job.

Customer photo review of Pigeon (25)

Thick paint and easy to apply. Hides a multitude of sins in the walls. Goes really well with the tiles that are already in the bathroom and has added warmth to what was a cold white bathroom.

Customer photo review of Caravan (453)

We've recently used Paint & Paper Library paint on a number of our original cast iron radiators and have been really impressed with the results. As a company specialising in restoring and supplying original cast iron radiators, finding high-quality paint with a great choice of colours is really important to us, and Paint & Paper Library has certainly delivered. We're looking forward to using more of their colours on future projects! Emily Salvagedoctor

Customer video review of Studio Green (93)

We chose studio green for our bathroom renovation. Love the way the tone changes to a darker, charcoal effect at night. Just fab!

Customer video review of Ammonite - Dead Flat - 750ml

Having several different surfaces to cover and not wanting a high sheen i chose this paint. It was easy to use and blended in over wooden, wallpaper surfaces alike. I love ammonite as its bright yet not white and not too cold like grey.

Customer photo review of Grenache (372)

Love this colour! We wanted a strong colour for feature walls in the master bedroom and ensuite. The bathroom tiles have a lot of iridescent colours and it was challenging finding something interesting that complements this. Grenache does it in style! The other colour is Portland Stone Pale (Little Greene).Our excellent painter is impressed with the paint and the colour. We'll be using Scarlet n Rust in the hallway. More later - as you can see we're not finished yet.

Customer video review of Pink Drab (207)

Love this colour! Paired it with London Clay for the bookcase/media wall and diminutive for the ceiling and woodwork. Can’t beat Farrow & Ball in my opinion.

Customer photo review of Calke Green (34)

We absolutely love Farrow and Ball paint, it applies so well although two coats are required in most areas. It is great how they choose a white to go with the colour you choose and they compliment.t each other so well. We moved house 3 months ago and were keen to get away from all the white/cream/beige everywhere and add a bit of colour. Having used Farrow and Ball for years now, we chose a sample pot, painted a small strip of lining paper and lived how it looked. The Calke green dead flat looks fantastic and I would highly recommend the colour to anyone. We have the setting plaster F&B indoor bedroom and that too makes the room look great. We have also used Old School white and Dimity paints, all great.

The paint went on really well with great ease . Super coverage as the walls had not been painted for over 10 years . Really pleased with the outcome . Love the rich tones it throws out especially in the evening or in bright sunlight

I chose Pigeon from Farrow and Ball in the Exterior Eggshell to paint my garden shed and a bench. The colour looks fabulous against all the green tones in the garden. I love it!
