Exploring types of paint

Choosing the right paint opens a whole range of fresh possibilities for decorating your home and for transforming your furniture and accessories. We’ll talk you through some of our favourite types to show you just how endless the choices are.  

Metallic paint 

For luxurious texture, leaving you with gleaming, luminous walls choose metallic paint. Most of our metallic paints are water-based, which makes them easy to apply and clean from your brush (or hands, or face…). You can use the same techniques as you would other paints, but It takes a little extra care to get a good finish over a large area. We recommend using a short-pile roller in vertical strokes, working quickly. 

Glitter paint 

A unique choice that gives you shimmering highlights evoking the feeling of a beautiful dream, glitter paint is one of our favourite ways to easily add a new dimension to your room. Our GoodHome feature wall glitter effect paint ranges from bold bright pinks to contemporary calming greys.
