Farrow and Ball paints and wallpapers have a reputation second to none. James Mackie uses the paints almost exclusively in his Interior Designs and knows from years of experience how essential they are in historic restorations and period homes and just how exquisite they can be in contemporary settings and more cutting edge schemes.
There is a whole host of technical information available on the Farrow & Ball website but here are a few of James' reasons for using these excellent traditional paints.
Reason 1
We're all looking for the right colour when we reach for the paint charts but colour isn’t everything. Farrow and Ball have an extensive range of superb finishes that make the colours work in lots of different situations.
Reason 2
The paint is made using up to 40% natural pigment not just a quick squirt of dye. This gives the paint a depth and richness that cannot be emulated.
Reason 3
Farrow and Ball paint can be used by any home decorator or professional craftsperson who enjoys getting the perfect finish. You can really live in a room decorated in even the very boldest Farrow and Ball colour.
Reason 4
Using conventional paint 'chips' or swatches can be unsatisfactory and nerve wracking. Come to the shop and use the 'brush out boards' and experience the difference. Using big samples of the actual paint to choose your colours is so helpful and enjoyable.
Reason 5
Oh yes .. and the colours are truely wonderful!
