Dead Good

I absolutely love the dead flat finish. With an old and old walls, dead flat is the perfect finish. School House white is a new favourite colour too. It’s the right kind of old white to compliment my farmhouse colour palette

Great product. Great service

Perfect product. Great service. This paint is multi faceted so works great with quartz worktop

Old paint?

Unfortunately, the sample pot I received was old. The paint was very thick paint and had a rust spot inside the tin. Very disappointing. Perhaps that’s the reason why they’re offering a promotion buy 2 & get one free to get rid of old stock.

Fantastic finish and hardwearing eggshell

I have used this paint on ceramic tiles in our utility room. And it locks brilliant and has worked a treat, much better than a paint that was meant to be exclusively used on ceramics but failed completely. Well done Farrow & Ball, top quality as usual

School House White

Lovely shade that looks fabulous in my sewing room!

Dead flat

Really is dead flat. Perfectly Matt finish with no sheen is just the look we wanted for our radiator. Needed a primer first and two coats but happy with the end result.

Beautiful warm neutral

Beautiful warm neutral that pairs well with School House White. The dead flat emulsion was superb to apply, non drip good coverage and amazing finish. Bought a 5l tin which covered 3 large areas. Tin however did arrive damaged at the bottom so it wasn’t very sturdy to stand and was a significant risk of spilling which is the only reason for the 4 stars
