For a versatile paint finish, take a look at the redesigned Architects’ finishes, available in matte, eggshell, satinwood, and gloss. These finishes can be applied to walls, woodwork, metalwork, tiles, and more,making them suitable for almost any area in your home. They are self-priming, exceptionally durable, washable, and easy to scrub, making them ideal for modern homes or commercial spaces with high activity levels. For walls and ceilings, consider a matte emulsion paint like Pure Flat Emulsion or Architects’ Matt, which offer a flat, chalky finish that complements Paint & Paper Library’s rich color palette.

Pure Flat Emulsion, with its 2% sheen level, provides an ultra-flat finish perfect for low-traffic areas where aesthetics take precedence over practicality. This finish is gently wipeable but not recommended for areas requiring frequent cleaning.

Architects’ Matt is a washable alternative to Pure Flat Emulsion, suitable for high-traffic interior walls and ceilings like hallways, kitchens, and children’s rooms. It’s designed to withstand the demands of a modern family home.

The multi-surface compatibility of Architects’ finishes allows you to experiment with different finishes on your walls and ceilings, creating unique combinations. For instance, you can use Architects’ Gloss on walls to contrast its high sheen with the flat finish of Architects’ Matt, achieving a striking effect, especially when using bold colors like Moroccan red in a shade like Caravan.

For household woodwork, such as skirting boards, dado rails, panelling, and wooden furniture, choose hardwearing finishes like Architects’ Eggshell, Satinwood, and Gloss. These finishes offer long-lasting protection, and you can choose from varying sheen levels based on your preferences.

When painting kitchen cabinetry, a satin sheen like Architects’ Satinwood combines beauty with practicality, making it an excellent choice for cabinets that see high use. For a luxurious touch, consider Architects’ Gloss, which offers an 80% sheen and pairs well with sophisticated colors like Scarlet ‘n’ Rust.

Don’t forget about radiators and other metalwork when planning your interior scheme. The Architects’ finishes are ideal for these surfaces due to their excellent adhesive and heat-resistant properties. You can apply Architects’ Matt, Eggshell, and Satinwood directly to metalwork, while Architects’ Gloss or bare metal may require priming with Architects’ All Surface Primer. Match the radiator color to the walls for a cohesive look or add personality to your bathroom by painting the metal bath exterior with Architects’ Satinwood, a scrubbable and water-resistant finish.
