Pearl – If you’re after a luxe look the soft pearly satin gleam of peal paint adds a subtle yet elegant mood to a room. Pearl offers a soft natural glow as it both absorbs and reflects natural light.
Pearl comes in a beautiful palette of whites and neutrals. By adding a simple small effect like a shimmer to feature wall in a room can really make a massive difference to the overall space.

Suede comes in a variety of warm colours so perfect to cosy up a sitting or bedroom. A little goes along way with this paint especially once it’s enhanced by soft lighting. Sits well with wooden furniture.
Limewash – It creates a soft weathered feel when applied to raw furniture and walls that have been stripped of wax and paint.
