Meet Etruscan Red by Farrow & Ball.

A beautifully rich, earthy red with warm, rusty undertones that captures everything we love about autumn. Think crisp woodland walks, fallen leaves, glowing fires and those cosy evenings spent indoors. 🍷

In Farrow & Ball’s Estate Emulsion, its signature chalky matt finish gives this gorgeous shade even more depth, creating walls that feel effortlessly warm, inviting and full of character.

And if you’ve been waiting for a little nudge to embrace a bolder colour this season, this might just be it…

Trade paint vs retail paint — what’s actually the difference?

They might look similar on the shelf, but when it comes to coverage, durability, finish and price, there are some key differences worth knowing.

Trade paint is designed with professional performance in mind, while retail paint is typically created for everyday DIY projects — but that doesn’t mean trade paint is just for the pros.

Swipe through to discover the differences and work out which option could be right for your next decorating project. 👉

There’s something delicious about autumn colour. 🤎🍂

Think rich chocolate. Silky mocha. Warm caramel. A splash of coffee. Soft, creamy neutrals to bring it all together.

As the days get shorter and we start craving everything a little warmer and cosier, those same comforting shades are finding their way onto our walls.

Brown is having a serious interiors moment but forget the muddy browns of the past. This season, it’s all about layering warm, indulgent shades to create rooms that feel rich, inviting and cocooning.

Pair deep cocoa walls with creamy neutrals. Add a touch of caramel warmth. Layer in natural woods and soft textures.

The result? A colour palette that feels almost good enough to eat. ☕🍫

There’s something about September that feels like a fresh start.

The mornings feel a little cooler. We’re settling back into routines and, suddenly, all those little jobs around the house start catching our attention again.

That wall you’ve been meaning to repaint.
The hallway that could do with a refresh.

Maybe September is the month to finally do it.

There’s nothing quite like seeing a freshly decorated room come together, especially as we head into the months when we’ll be spending a little more time at home.

You choose the colour. You picture the finished room. You book the decorator (or set aside the weekend to tackle it yourself).

Then comes the preparation.

Finding the brushes and rollers. Getting the dust sheets down. Giving the paint a good stir and decanting what you need into a paint kettle or roller tray for easier application.

If a fresh coat of paint is part of your September reset, we’ve put together a simple guide explaining why ordering your paint early helps — and how a little forward planning can keep your decorating project running smoothly from the start.

Paint ordered. Supplies ready. Paint decanted. Kettle on. ☕🎨

Good paint is about more than how a room looks on day one.

It’s how it looks after the hundredth person has walked through the hallway. After another mark has been wiped away. After everyday life has had a chance to put the finish to the test.

That thinking sits at the heart of Benjamin Moore Scuff-X.

Made for high-traffic spaces, it combines durability and washability with thousands of colour choices and four finishes.

You know that room you’ve been meaning to sort out all year? 👀

The walls are looking a little tired, you’ve been thinking about changing the colour, and somehow it keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list.

Then suddenly… Christmas isn’t that far away. 🎄

With cosy evenings at home, it’s the perfect excuse to finally give your rooms that refresh. And ... have you looked up?

Ceilings are so often painted white and forgotten about, but they can completely change the feel of a room.

You could take your wall colour up and over the ceiling for a cosy, wrapped-in-colour feel. Choose a lighter version of the walls to keep things soft and airy. In bedrooms especially, a painted ceiling can make the whole space feel more considered and finished.

So, what’s the room you’d love to have finished before Christmas? 🎨

Beautiful paint deserves a beautiful base.

Start by filling any cracks or holes, then gently sand the walls in circular motions to create a smooth, even surface.

Wipe everything down to remove dust, dirt and grease before protecting your skirting boards, switches, windows and flooring.

Then comes the exciting part. ✨

Once your walls are properly prepared, you can start building up that unmistakable depth of colour that makes Farrow & Ball shades so special.

Take your time, cut in carefully around the edges and allow each coat to dry properly before applying the next.

Whether you’re embracing the timeless depth of Hague Blue, the softness of Setting Plaster or giving your space a completely new personality, the finish is only ever as good as the preparation underneath it.

There’s Farrow & Ball colour… and then there’s the finish.

Choosing the shade might be the exciting part, but choosing the right finish is what really brings it to life.

Think the soft, chalky character of Estate Emulsion, the hard-working practicality of Modern Emulsion, the beautifully matt look of Dead Flat, or the bold, light-reflecting impact of Full Gloss.

Each brings something different to a space - whether you’re painting walls, ceilings, woodwork or creating a statement feature.

If Farrow & Ball is on your decorating wish list, now’s a very good time to take a look.

🎨 Always test your colours before you commit.

The same paint colour can look surprisingly different from one room to another. Natural light, artificial lighting, the direction your room faces and the colours surrounding it can all change how a shade appears throughout the day.

That’s why testing your chosen Benjamin Moore colour in the actual space is such an important step. Try it on different walls and live with it for a little while — see how it looks in the morning, afternoon and evening before making your final decision.

And don’t forget about the finish. For hardworking spaces, Benjamin Moore Scuff-X® combines beautiful colour with exceptional durability and scuff resistance, making it a great choice for busy areas where walls need to stand up to everyday life.

Available in Matte, Eggshell, Satin and Semi-Gloss, you can choose a finish that works with both the look of your room and the demands of the space.

A little testing now can make all the difference to creating a colour scheme you’ll love living with. 🏡✨
