Full details
This Laura Ashley Matt Emulsion paint in Natural Green is designed for homeowners seeking a grounded, timeless aesthetic for their interior walls and ceilings. Its primary benefit is providing a beautiful, durable finish with excellent coverage. A key caveat is that this paint is mixed to order and therefore non-returnable unless there are quality issues, which also contributes to its eco-friendly nature by minimizing waste. It offers a water-based, matt finish suitable for most interior surfaces.

FAQs
Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
This is a matt emulsion generally best suited for living areas, bedrooms, and hallways. For high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens, a more durable, washable finish such as silk or satin might be more appropriate. Always check specific product recommendations for high-traffic or high-moisture environments.
Can I use this paint on wood or metal?
This paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. For wood or metal surfaces, you would need to use a primer suitable for those materials followed by a paint designed for wood and metal.
How much paint do I need?
The paint offers a coverage of approximately 12 square meters per litre. Measure the area of your walls or ceiling (length x height) and divide by 12 to estimate the litres required. Remember to account for two coats and potential wastage.
Why is this paint mixed to order?
Mixing paint to order is an eco-friendly practice that helps reduce waste by producing only what is needed. This also ensures you receive a batch with consistent colour.
Can I return the paint if I don't like the colour?
As the paint is mixed to order, it cannot be returned unless there are quality issues with the product. It is crucial to be certain of your colour choice before ordering, and testing a sample is recommended.
How do I clean spills or marks?
For minor marks, gently wipe the area with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, which can damage the matt finish. Clean brushes and rollers with water immediately after use.
Troubleshooting
Paint is streaky or uneven
Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly before and during application. Apply in consistent strokes and check that the surface is properly prepared and primed if necessary. Ensure even pressure when rolling or brushing.
Colour appears different than expected
Colours on screen may vary from the actual product. It is recommended to purchase a sample pot or test the colour in your specific lighting conditions before painting the entire area. Ensure you are viewing the correct shade name and code.
Paint is not adhering to the surface
Check that the surface was clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. If painting over a glossy surface, ensure it was properly primed or lightly sanded. Ensure the correct primer was used for the surface type.
Drying time is longer than expected
Drying times can be affected by humidity and temperature. Ensure good ventilation in the room. Avoid applying thick coats, which can prolong drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For previously painted surfaces, a light sanding may be beneficial. Use an appropriate primer if painting over dark colours or bare plaster.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply with a brush or roller, working in a uniform direction. Two coats are generally recommended for best results. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per the manufacturer's instructions, typically 2-4 hours.
Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Not recommended for use on floors, exterior surfaces, or areas with constant high moisture.
Care: Clean application tools immediately after use with water. For general maintenance of painted surfaces, wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the matt finish.
