Wood & metal paints and preparation
Choose your look
Finishing touches make all the difference. With three different finishes to choose from (eggshell, satin and gloss) for your metal and woodwork you can choose a look that suits your style.
Preparation is key to a perfect finish. Our primers and undercoats help to smooth out any imperfections in your surfaces and provide a strong, long lasting foundation for your paint.
Always remember, if you’re painting an entire room, leave your woodwork and skirting boards until last to achieve a really slick end result.

Create your colour scheme
Creating a colour scheme is an exciting part of a decorating project, but sometimes with so many beautiful options available it can seem a little daunting. Never worry, at Crown we have a step-by-step guide to help select the perfect colour combinations.
While painting a room can completely change the overall look and feel of a space, the first thing to consider is that designing a room is not just about a paint colour alone, but furniture, soft furnishings and floor finishes should also be included into the scheme.
If you are trying to match existing furniture or have a favourite cushion as a starting point, we often suggest trying out a three step approach to finding the perfect colour combination.
Neutrals
Neutrals are typically more muted shades that are not overly vibrant or bold, such as beige, taupe, stones and shades of grey. They are versatile shades which are great for creating calm and relaxing spaces as well as being used to complement or balance more vibrant colours.
Hint – create interest by using a variety of textures in soft furnishings and accessories.
Tonal
A tonal scheme starts with a dominant colour and then combines it with varying tints and shades from the same colour. Varying proportions of light and dark or bright and subtle colours can change the overall result. Tonal colour schemes are cohesive and stylish.
Hint – incorporate natural elements and finishes for a balanced scheme.
Statement
Statement colour schemes create the wow factor. Usually this means selecting colours that sit opposite one another on the colour wheel. Contrasting colours create a dramatic effect as they ‘pop’ against one another.
Hint – add accent accessories in the statement colour.
Paint testers are a great way to see how the colour will look in different lighting conditions.
