Drawn from an original Morris & Co. paint palette, Barbed Berry is subdued, yet fruity. A charming off-red tone which recalls the berries and fruits that decorate so many of Morris & Co.’s fabric and wallpaper patterns. Highly opaque and low sheen, the eggshell paint finish offers a fresh, enduring quality. 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, recoatable after 2-4 hours. Additional coats may be require
I think the Water Based Acrylic Eggshell Paint by Morris & Co in Barbed Berry works beautifully in spaces that benefit from a rich, warm tone, making it perfect for lively yet sophisticated interiors. It pairs well with both vintage and contemporary styling, adding depth to a room without overwhelming it. When styling with this shade, consider pairing it with neutral textiles and natural textures to allow the colour to stand out subtly. Practical tip - in a sitting room or bedroom, using this paint on feature walls can create a cosy, inviting atmosphere, while keeping other walls light keeps the space feeling fresh and open. It’s especially effective when complemented with soft lighting and carefully chosen accessories for a cohesive look.
