This guide is for homeowners and decorators seeking a sophisticated, high-quality interior paint. The Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion in Bone (No.15) offers a beautiful, chalky matte finish that enhances colour depth and hides imperfections, creating a rich, welcoming atmosphere. Its low VOC and minimal odour make it a healthier choice for interior spaces, though its matte finish is best suited for low-traffic areas.

Estate Emulsion has a classic chalky matte finish, ideal for low-traffic areas and offering a rich depth of colour. Modern Emulsion is a more durable, washable finish suitable for higher-traffic areas and kitchens/bathrooms.
A 2.5L tin of Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion covers approximately 35m² on average per coat.
While technically usable, the Estate Emulsion's matte finish is not recommended for bathrooms due to its lower resistance to moisture and potential for marking. Farrow & Ball's Modern Emulsion is a more suitable choice for bathrooms.
The paint typically takes 2-4 hours to dry to the touch. Allow at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, before applying a second coat.
Clean brushes, rollers, and trays immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly.
Yes, Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings.
Yes, Farrow & Ball offers Bone in various finishes like Estate Eggshell, Full Gloss, and Modern Emulsion, each with different durability and sheen levels.
Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before application. Apply in even strokes, maintaining a 'wet edge' to avoid visible lap marks. Ensure sufficient paint is loaded onto the brush or roller. Check that the surface was properly prepared and primed.
Use a high-quality brush or roller designed for matte finishes. Apply with consistent pressure and direction. Avoid overworking the paint once it starts to dry. Ensure adequate lighting to see coverage clearly.
Colours can appear slightly different in various lighting conditions. Allow the paint to dry completely. Test a small area first if colour matching is critical.
The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure it is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or old, flaky paint. Use a suitable primer, especially on new plaster or previously painted surfaces that have not been coated with emulsion.
Preparation is Key:
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any holes or cracks with appropriate filler and sand smooth once dry. Prime new or bare surfaces with a suitable Farrow & Ball primer.
Application:
Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply liberally with a good quality synthetic brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing the first coat to dry completely (typically 2-4 hours) before applying the second. Avoid painting in excessively humid or cold conditions.
Compatibility:
This Estate Emulsion is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings in low-traffic areas. It is not recommended for high-moisture environments or surfaces subject to heavy wear. It can be applied over existing emulsion paints of a similar type, provided the surface is sound.
Care and Cleaning:
To maintain the finish, clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this can damage the matte surface. For stubborn marks, a very mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth to rinse.
