A timeless and understated deep red infused with purple perfect for wooden surfaces in rooms made for entertaining. A fast drying, low odour low sheen finish ideal for use where durability and performance is important. All surfaces should be sound, clean, dry and free from grease. Remove any loose or flaking paint. Rub down sound glossy surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper and rinse thoroughly before applying a pre-coat of a Water/Acrylic Primer Undercoat. 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 over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead. Seal absorbent surfaces with a solution of up to 1 part water to 4 parts Elite Emulsion. Prime bare timber and metal surfaces with an appropriate primer. Allow radiators to cool before painting. Stir well before use and apply by brush, roller or paint pad. When using a roller, use a medium pile synthetic type. Do not overfill the tray. Ensure roller is loaded evenly. If using a brush, load generously. Apply liberally and evenly; avoid overspreading. Touch dry in 1 - 2 hours. Recoatable after 2 - 4 hours. The Zoffany Elite Emulsion is suitable for interior use, on interior walls and ceilings, primed woodwork, metal and radiators. Approximately 13 square metres per litre depending on the nature and porosity of the surface. Also available in a Acrylic Eggshell and True Matt Emulsion version.
While the Zoffany in Shaker Red5 isn’t a rug, its rich, warm hue is perfect for creating cosy, inviting interiors. I love using this shade as an accent wall in living rooms or bedrooms to add depth and character. It works well with both neutral tones and contrasting colours, such as mustard yellows or soft greys, for a balanced, contemporary look. When styling with this colour, consider pairing it with textured fabrics and layered accessories to avoid making the space feel too intense. Keep furniture light and simple, or introduce metallic accents to elevate the colour to a more sophisticated level. Overall, it’s a bold choice that can truly define a space and make a lasting statement.
