Since 2011, SketchTwenty3’s in-house team of experienced designers based in Cheshire, create several new sophisticated collections of contemporary wallpapers every year. Maintaining the heritage and charm of M&L's extraordinary paint range is important to us and we will still be providing the original M&L palette of over 120 colours. We, as designers ourselves, know the importance of keeping the e

stablished ethos, quality and service of M&L Paints alive. This is what we will endeavour to continue to do upon the re launch of the company. We will post a notification of when M&L Paints website goes live, although in the meantime for any enquiries, please contact [email protected], or to place an order/request a paint chart please contact [email protected]. Best wishes,

M&L Paint & SketchTwenty3

Our History

For four decades Peter and Susan Marston created sublime bespoke conservatories and ‘to die for’ garden rooms. In 2003 they began working with the finest colour chemists and technical experts to develop paints to satisfy the most meticulous designers and decorators. Inspired by the natural world and by fine classical architecture, M&L colours have been created to enhance our lives in engaging ways. Today, M&L has been revived by the family firm Alitex, sharing the same ethos for tradition and a similar passion for fine quality products. Established in 1952, Alitex is renowned for its commitment to British manufacturing and the longevity of its greenhouses. In 2016, with M&L Paints and Marston & Langinger Garden Rooms under its wing, The Alitex Group was formed; priding itself in quality. As part of The Alitex Group, we are passionate about all that grows. We take great pride in all we do, creating an environment where our team can thrive and develop. With the same passion, we will ensure that M&L Paints continues to create extraordinary colours and enhance emotions for years to come.

The Story Behind the Shade “Old Rose 72”

A sublime dusky pink inspired by the timeless beauty of heritage garden roses. Rich in natural red ochre and softened with a delicate touch of black, this sophisticated shade carries a gentle depth that feels both classic and contemporary.

Old Rose 72 brings warmth and softness to interiors, pairing beautifully with paler pinks to create spaces that feel calm, graceful, and effortlessly refined.

Softly vintage. Perfectly balanced. Quietly luxurious.

whether you’re redecorating one room or the whole house in the, think about how colour will be layered throughout the space. Start with the walls and move through the furniture and soft furnishings, considering the proportion and balance of colours. You can create completely different looks by contrasting or tonally harmonising colours.

Top tip: Buy a tester pot before committing to colour on your walls. Paint small pieces of lining paper and observe the colour in the space and how the light changes throughout the day.

Timeless, yet entirely of the moment.
