Deepened with a plum-like tinge, this red has been reimagined based on a historic Morris & Co. paint palette. Thomas Wardle, an innovator in textile dyeing techniques relied upon by Morris & Co., gives his name to this classic red. Chalky Matt's wipeable finish offers an immersive depth and irresistible quality to any interior, leaving an enduringly harmonious look. Ensure good ventilation during application and drying. All surfaces to be painted should be clean, dry and free from loose and flaking material including dirt and grease. Prime base surfaces with an appropriate primer. Rub down previously glossed painted surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper and rinse thoroughly. Avoid the inhalation of dust. Wear a suitable face mask if dry sanding. Special precautions should be taken during preparation of pre-1960’s paint surfaces as they may contain harmful lead. Prime base surfaces with an appropriate primer. Stir well before use and apply by brush or roller. Apply 2 coats,
This Chalky Matt paint in Wardle Wine2.5 offers a rich, cosy tone that works well in both classic and contemporary settings. I love it for creating a warm, inviting focal wall or adding depth in living rooms and bedrooms. It pairs beautifully with neutral furnishings and adds character without overwhelming a space. When styling, consider keeping accessories and furniture in lighter shades to balance the darker hue, or go bold with contrasting colours for a lively vibe. It’s a versatile choice that can ground a scheme or add a splash of colour to more subdued interiors, making it an easy go-to for adding personality with a subtle touch of colour.
