Farrow and Ball Estate Emulsion

Farrow and Ball Estate Emulsion

Farrow and Ball Estate Emulsion is Farrow & Ball's signature chalky paint that produces a very matt finsh for interior walls and ceilings throughout the home.

Estate Emulsion comes in so many incredible shades that picking just one shade of yellow was pretty tough, just like the paint because it is great at hiding imperfections and gives a wipeable surface.

Being both waterbased and low odour, not only is this paint Eco friendly, with low VOC content it's child & pet safe and quick drying too - making it the perfect option for painting your home during the summer holidays.

Estate Emulsion paint is available in over 140 colours plus an extra 16 from the new Colour By Nature range, but we've spared you the tricky decision of picking a colour. We couldn't settle on one, so we picked two, because who doesn't love sunshine?
