I got testers - they have stick on panels rather than paint pots so no idea of consistency or ease.

I found the colours were nice but not true. The bottle green and peacock had undertones that meant that they didn't read as the colour I hoped and wanted them too. I ended up with a Dulux Heritage colour to get what I wanted

Everything else they sell now is rubbish ( I used to love it there and spent£££££). Bath mats last for eighteen months and then go into holes ( previous one lasted six years) ‘stainless steel’ bin rusting in three weeks, chopping board which shows knife marks immediately.

I wouldn’t bother with their paint, just buy Dulux , Crown or get B& Q to o match any colour you want ( their mixing people are very helpful).

I like it. Very easy to paint with and barely needed two coats. The colour was spot on. I went for Willow.

I used it on a big space, 8 tins total, and I would use it again.

See I had a thread a few weeks ago debating whether to colour match the dunelm paint and got put off by the replies about the terrible quality of the B&Q colour match paint!

I'm glad I took a gamble on it anyway 😊

I've never had a good experience with own brand paint. Get it matched in Dulux or a professional brand. It might be ok but you will be weeping into your paintbrush and regretting saving £10 if it takes 4 coats.

Thanks. Thought that might be the case.

Hiya. We used the colour Sage in my DD nursery. It was really great coverage but was also on a ‘blank canvas’. My FIL said it was a good quality paint. Not sure about the rest however!

Our shop doesn’t actually sell paint - can only order online. But the day we went in someone had returned it & we got it reduced. Was meant to be but I thought it was very true to colour / online.

Dunelm paint? I usually get paint mixed with trade paint at local store but saw willow matt paint online at Dunelm and colour looked perfect for what I wanted. It has arrived and says washable wipeable on the tin which normally has a sheen to it like a bathroom/kitchen paint. Has anyone tried and know if that's the case? Looking for a flat matt non reflective paint. Don't wnat to open it if it is and will just return.

I've not used it on walls but actually used it on 2 pieces of furniture(bottle green) as I couldn't find the colour I wanted in furniture paint. I absolutely love it, it's not been sealed either (just didn't get round to it) it's lasting really well.

sorry meant add,it's not matt and I wouldn't say it's wipeable(on furniture anyway).

Thank you that's helpful. Good to know it's lasted well. So was it Matt you bought but it has a sheen or did you mean it was eggshell you bought? Thanks

PrioritiseCalm · 07/01/2025 19:06

I'm liking the sage still.
