Known for their pigment-rich and eco-friendly paints based on historic palettes, Farrow & Ball definitely grabs the limelight when it comes to must-have, on-trend shades, but is their high price tag worth it? Honestly, I’ve always dreamed of painting my room with Farrow & Ball Hague Blue (can you blame me?) but I feel like I need to make a solid reason for “why buy Farrow & Ball” before I show it is to give my buddy.
To get some professional advice, I interviewed Kent Blackhill, Farrow and Ball supplier. Kent Blaxill was founded in 1838. What started as a small oil and glass business in Colchester High Street has grown into more than 20 decor centres across the East and Midlands. Kent Blaxill has a wide range of products anyone may need for their next decorating project, from paint to wallpaper and a variety of other products. With so many years of experience as a supplier to Farrow & Ball, I think Kent Blaxill is the right expert!
Who are Farrow and Ball?
Farrow & Ball is a popular UK paint and wallpaper manufacturer known for their water-based and eco-friendly designer paints.
- Extensive color collection.
Farrow & Ball colors can fit any space. They are available in 132 paint colors, including a lovely range of neutrals, vibrant colors and deep shades. From a perfect pink called “Setting Plaster” to an uplifting yellow called “India Yellow”, Farrow & Ball has it all. Wannabe Princess recently shared Some of her favorite Farrow & Ball colors, including “Elephant’s Breath” and “Hague Blue” – some great options!
Share by Paper Room Interiors Their colors are known for their velvety finish that responds to light. “All these natural organic pigments not only create rich and beautiful colors, but also a sublime finish. So if you like that matte, chalky, velvety finish that responds to natural light, I would go for it True. Especially when used in a decadent space like a bedroom or an adult living room.”
- Eco-friendly alternative.
In today’s world, I think it’s important to consider eco-friendly options as much as possible. Farrow & Ball paints are waterborne low VOC paints available in infinitely recyclable cans. Volatile organic compounds are volatile organic compounds that are harmful to the environment and humans. These are the culprits behind the strong smell of some traditional paints. As a result, low-VOC paints are not only safer and more comfortable to use indoors and outdoors, but are also more environmentally friendly.
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room…the price tag. Farrow & Ball is a luxury paint and their price tag reflects that. They may not be the most affordable paint brands, but I believe the price tag reflects all the little details that make them so special. As Farrow & Ball’s creative director Charlotte Cosby told Homes & Gardens, “Our paints contain high levels of pigments, rich resin binders and premium ingredients that give them their unique depth of color.. We carefully source ingredients from our suppliers to ensure you find the highest quality product in every jar. Not only that, their paints are meticulously tested to ensure great color and a long lasting finish.
Farrow and Ball is a popular choice for interior designers, but when you talk to your local decorator (who might say it’s overpriced), it’s not as popular. However, I think I’ll be on the interior designer’s side, Farrow & Ball is a great choice!
