The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion in Lamplighter is an ideal choice for homeowners and interior designers seeking a high-quality, sophisticated flat matt finish for interior walls and ceilings. This premium paint provides excellent depth of color and a non-reflective surface, though users should note that the chalky, porous nature of the finish requires careful application to avoid uneven textures or visible roller marks.

Due to its flat, chalky finish and limited scrub resistance, this paint is better suited for low-humidity areas like living rooms or bedrooms.
Two coats are usually sufficient for a uniform, deep color, provided the surface has been properly prepared and primed.
This emulsion is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. It is not recommended for wood or metal trim.
While it is quick-drying, it is recommended to wait at least 4 hours between coats to ensure the first layer has properly set.
The flat, chalky finish is not designed for frequent washing; it should be handled with care to maintain its pristine appearance.
Apply using a high-quality roller and ensure you maintain a 'wet edge' throughout the process to prevent the paint from drying prematurely.
Ensure the surface is properly primed before the first coat, especially if painting over porous substrates like new plaster.
The chalky finish is inherently delicate; use a soft, damp cloth and dab gently rather than scrubbing to avoid removing the paint pigment.
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dust, or grease before application. If applying to bare plaster, a dedicated primer or a mist coat (paint thinned with water) is recommended to prevent excessive absorption. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigments are evenly distributed. For ongoing care, this finish is porous; avoid aggressive scrubbing, as this will damage the flat surface. Use a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth to gently dab at surface marks. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, as these will permanently mar the chalky finish.
