Your guide to using white matt emulsion

Everyone needs white paint, but you may not think you need 10 litres of it, however, this blog will show you how you can use any leftover paint to prevent waste!

Read on to find out how.

To some, white matt emulsion is basic - but it is so much more than that. White matt emulsion gives life to dark spaces and has the power to make smaller rooms feel bigger and brighter which lends itself well to being a blank canvas waiting for you to add pops of colour with your furniture and other home accessories. 

Aside from painting your walls to get that cool, bright, white feeling, here’s how you can use Crown Trade Covermatt 10 litre White emulsion in your home.

Ceilings

Ceilings are a part of the home that people tend to put the least thought into because it’s not often we stare up and notice that the paint that was once white has now greyed. Whether you are looking to re-decorate entirely, or just refresh your ceiling, Crown Trade Covermatt 10 litre White emulsion can do just that - or should you be the next Michelangelo, it will provide the perfect blank canvas!
