Painting & Decorating - Ideas and advice
Trends
At Wickes, we love to bring you the best quality, the latest trends and the greatest choice. That’s why we are proud of our range of high quality paint. With a range of beautiful colours to choose from, there's sure to be something to suit everyone. The hardest part will be deciding whether you want your decor to be bold or subtle; contemporary or traditional.
Bold Brights
Often the star of a feature wall, Brights will add a pop of colour to otherwise neutral walls. You can then dress the room with colourful furniture.
Midnight Luxe
Dramatic tones of rich navy and opulent off-white bring sumptuous depth to your walls, no matter what size your room is.
Scandi
This trend is a softer take on the clean lines and modern execution that you might expect from a Scandinavian look.
Colours
Colour can say a lot about a person. It can also say a lot about your home. Bright and bubbly, dark and exciting, or cool and mysterious? Our Wickes paint range allows you to bring out your personality through your paint choices.
Greys & Blacks
Containing modern, industrial, urban or subtle tones, our palette of greys makes for a stunning backdrop, whether used on their own or in combination with neutral or bold colours.
Greens
Homely with limitless scope, rejuvenate a wall or transform the whole room. This beautiful palette can complement and bring tranquillity to your home.
Blues
Versatile and on trend, the possibilities are endless throughout the home. Invigorating, dramatic or pastel greyed tones, our palette of blues allows you to create stunning backdrops within your home.

Top tips
We have created some top tips for painting, to help you decorate like a professional.
Stretch an elastic band over an open tin of paint
Using an elastic band on your paint tin can help reduce mess and drips, making it easier to replace the lid later.
Use a spoon to open a tin of paint
If you don’t have a paint tin opener to hand, use a metal spoon instead of a screwdriver to open the lid.
