Sort of a family room topic, as we have two young, active children...


We are repainting our kitchen and living area walls and cupboards and like the Farrow Ball colours we have tried. Reviews from about 5 years suggest that this chips very easily, doesn't wipe down well, which is not ideal with kids.


Anyone used it recently and found it better?


I tried colour matching it with Valspar at B&Q but it's not quite the same. Anyone tried another colour matching service?


Thanks

Hi, I wouldn't recommend it personally in high traffic areas with young children. I'm speaking as someone who decorated only a couple of months ago. Lovely colours but not durable in my experience with young children. Little Green slightly better

We used F&B last time. Beautiful colours and finish but not great for general living.


Someone recently told us about Mylands. They have marble in their paints and apparently this makes them very child-friendly. They're not that well known but do have a royal warrant so they're not doing too badly. Similar prices to F&B. Smaller range but they do colour match too. They're based ish locally.

    • The big difference, other than increasingly flaking paint, seems to be graffiti. The question is, will that/ can it be controlled?
    • I took back my 🤣 because I think the idea is unworkable expensive and would produce little result.  There seems to be people in the office next to the toilet but I don’t think they leave the office. I’m not sure what they do there.  The toilets have been in a disgusting state for months and months with many promises to repair they are not functional and they invite vandalism. I shall  try to add a couple of photos. The council doesn’t care why should we?
    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
