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.

    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
