This Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion Paint in Lime White is ideal for homeowners seeking a classic, matte finish for walls and ceilings in areas with minimal wear. Its primary benefit is the rich, deep colour and the way its chalky texture hides imperfections, while a key consideration is its suitability for low-traffic areas only. This water-based paint boasts low VOCs for a minimal odour and a healthier home environment.

Estate Emulsion is best suited for interior walls and ceilings in low-traffic areas such as bedrooms and living rooms where a beautiful, chalky matte finish is desired.
It is generally recommended to apply two coats of Estate Emulsion for the best depth of colour and coverage. A mist coat may be necessary on new plaster or previously painted surfaces.
No, Estate Emulsion is not recommended for high-moisture or high-traffic areas like bathrooms and kitchens. For these areas, consider Farrow & Ball's Modern Emulsion, which offers greater durability and washability.
Clean gently with a damp, clean cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing vigorously, as this can damage the matte finish.
Typically, Estate Emulsion requires 2-4 hours of drying time between coats, but this can vary depending on humidity and temperature. Ensure the surface is dry before applying the next coat.
Yes, the chalky matte finish of Estate Emulsion is excellent for ceilings as it diffuses light beautifully and can help to make a room feel more spacious.
For new plaster or unpainted surfaces, a mist coat of thinned emulsion is recommended. For previously painted surfaces, use Farrow & Ball's white and light tone primer or mid-tone primer, depending on the existing colour.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, and primed). Check for any existing glossy finishes that may need deglossing or a suitable primer. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.
Paint colours can vary based on lighting conditions and surrounding colours. Test a sample area on your wall to see how the colour looks in your specific environment before committing to larger areas.
Ensure you are using a high-quality brush or roller and applying paint evenly. Maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Allow sufficient drying time. For very fine marks, a light sanding might help, but be gentle with the matte finish.
While Farrow & Ball paints are low VOC, some minimal odour is normal. Ensure good ventilation during application and drying. If the odour is persistent or very strong, check that you are using a genuine Farrow & Ball product and ensure all lids are properly sealed when not in use.
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For previously painted surfaces, apply a coat of Farrow & Ball appropriate primer (e.g., white and light tone primer or mid-tone primer depending on the base colour). For new plaster or unpainted surfaces, use a mist coat of thinned emulsion (e.g., 1 part paint to 10 parts water) before applying full coats.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Two coats are generally recommended for best colour depth and coverage. Allow adequate drying time between coats, typically 2-4 hours, depending on conditions. Avoid painting in extreme temperatures or high humidity.
Compatibility: This emulsion is designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is not recommended for use in areas subject to heavy moisture or significant wear, such as bathrooms, kitchens, or high-traffic hallways. It is compatible with Farrow & Ball primers and undercoats for optimal results.
Care: To clean surfaces painted with Estate Emulsion, gently wipe with a damp, clean cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this can damage the delicate matte finish.
