Buy our Hand Painted Fan Deck

Hand Painted Fan Deck

Everyone loves our fan deck – the perfect form for a design professional or keen amateur.  The fan deck is a lovely chunky block of 5 x 3 inch cards painted in every colour, with unique colour description and historic colour key. In our new Trumpington edition we also have samples of our Water Based Eggshell and Water Based Gloss.  The fan deck is a great way to see two, five or eight colours ‘fanned out’ together.

Sample Pots

We remain firm believers in the virtues of the sample pot.  Please do not rely on colours on the computer screen.   A colour choice can be an expensive choice and so we want you to be confident before you buy.  You will also see how thick and creamy our paint is and with no smell. To be sure that our sample pots do not have an environmental impact we have selected packaging and raw materials that are all recycled and/or biodegradable.

Sample pots are also available in all the lighter shades of our paints which you can order online, order the original colour and put the shade % in the order notes right at the bottom of the checkout page. For more information on our shades of colours, please click here.

Hand Painted A5 Colour Box

Colour Box of A5 Colour Cards

The colour box is loved by design professionals who are putting together schemes for their clients.  Each card is hand painted in our natural paints and on the back we give a description of each colour and a historical key outlining which colour is suitable for each era of architecture.  We put this in a beautiful linen box with the concertina colour cards plus technical sheets for each of our finishes. In our latest edition we have included samples of our Water Based Eggshell and Water Based Gloss for interior and exterior use on woodwork and metalwork (including radiators, obviously not outdoors!).  We hope that you will find this is a useful tool in designing amazing schemes!

How much paint do I need?

We have created this calculator to help you estimate the amount of paint you will need for your project. Please note that this is only an estimate, based on normal surfaces with two coats of paint.

Please check our practical painting advice - if you are painting onto a very absorbent surface, you may need more paint, and for best results, you may need to prime your surfaces.

If you end up with any leftover paint, get inspired with ways to use any excess paint - it's even compostable!

What are you painting?

Estimated
Painted Wall/Ceiling Area

Our natural matt emulsion is perfect for interior walls and ceilings.

0 litres

0 m2

This estimate is based on the dimensions of your room, minus the space taken by average doors and windows.

For this area, we suggest would be adequate.

Estimated
Woodwork Area

Our water based eggshell or gloss is ideal for woodwork or metalwork.

0 litres

0 m2

This estimate is based on skirting and the doors/windows you tell us about. 1 litre should cover 2-3 doors or 20m of skirting.

For this area, we suggest would be adequate.
