Could your outdoor space do with a bit of a lift this summer? ☀️
It’s not just the flora and fauna that have to do all the hard work looking bright and colourful — your exterior walls and garden furniture can get in on the action too.

This little setup proves it doesn’t take much. A lick of the right paint colour and finish, and suddenly everything looks a bit more pulled together… and a lot more inviting (even if the weather’s doing its usual thing).

Here, Little Greene’s Intelligent Exterior Eggshell has been used across the furniture, steps and walls — it's a soft, understated finish that’s tough enough for British summers…

Pop into our Wetherby store to pick up Little Greene colour sample pots and chat through the Intelligent Exterior finish!

Painting your front door or garden furniture, and don’t want to faff about? Bradite One Can keeps things simple.

It’s a great quality 3‑in‑1 paint — primer, undercoat and top coat in one — and it sticks to virtually anything. Timber doors, uPVC, metal garden furniture… and more.

You can choose from 54 carefully picked colours as standard (ideal if the thought of scrolling through 400 shades of blue makes your eye twitch).

Or, if you’ve got a specific colour in mind, we can tint it in‑store to any RAL, BS or NCS shade.

Available in Matt or Eggshell, Bradite One Can is a solid choice for exterior projects where you want a great finish without making life complicated.

Have a watch of the video to see it in action — then pop into the shop if you want to talk through your project with us.

Ever stood in front of a wall of paint colours thinking, “I just wanted blue… why are there 47 of them?” 🤔

Bradite’s new colour card is designed to stop that moment altogether. It’s built around a simplicity philosophy — a curated, usable range that makes choosing a colour feel straightforward again, whether you’re a decorator or doing it yourself.

Instead of endless near‑identical shades, the palette focuses on colours that genuinely work: a warm off‑white, grounded greens, confident blues and solid classics. It’s an easy route to finding something you actually like — without the second‑guessing.

And the paint itself keeps things just as simple. Bradite One Can is a primer, undercoat and topcoat in one, water‑based, touch-dry in 30 minutes, recoatable in an hour, with both matt and eggshell finishes. It now also includes mould-resistance — ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and busy homes.

Pop into The Decorating Centre in Wetherby to pick up the colour card. No overwhelm. Just fantastic paint in great colours.

🎨 INCIDENT REPORT: THE MAGENTA DISAGREEMENT...
Yesterday, our Little Greene paint‑tinting machine decided to have a prolonged and very stubborn argument with the magenta colourant.

It was dramatic.
And it went on far longer than anyone wanted.

Jonny stepped in to help — heroically attempting to stop the leak using:

• Paper towels
• Even more paper towels
• Sheer determination… and hope

Meanwhile, the magenta took full creative control and spread:

• Across the floor
• All over Jonny’s hands
• Onto Lisa’s hands
• Into Decorating Centre legend

At one particularly tense moment, a voice rang out from behind the counter, stating the obvious:

“It’s not stopping!”

Jonny went home with hands the colour of beetroot.
Will it ever fully come off?
Time will tell.

Good news: the Little Greene machine is currently being repaired, and we’ll be back mixing your favourite colours pronto.

If you’re planning to pop in for Little Greene paint today, give us a call first to check on 01937 580980 — just in case the magenta is still feeling argumentative.

We love the artistry in Little Greene's 'Lily Pads' wallpaper! All the wallpapers in Little Greene's new 'In the Garden' collection have been created from scratch, drawing inspiration from incredible outdoor spaces in the care of the National Trust.

'Lily Pads' is inspired by the beautiful Stackpole Estate in south‑west Wales, where nature thrives in over five square miles of protected coastline, farmland, forestry and lakes.

🌼 Wallpaper Spotlight: Little Greene's Moon Daisies – Garden 🌼

Here's proof that florals don’t have to be fussy. Moon Daisies in the 'Garden' colourway keeps things fresh and very easy to live with.

The pattern is simple and rhythmic, with interlocking stems that give it movement without overwhelming the room. Look a little closer, and you’ll spot the real talking point: softly flocked centres on each daisy, adding a subtle layer of texture that catches the light.

Set against a calm green background, this colourway feels grounded and grown‑up — ideal for hallways, kitchens, garden rooms, or anywhere you want pattern with a bit of personality. It works beautifully with warm whites, natural materials and muted greens.

See this beautiful wallpaper in our Wetherby store!

Magnolia Blossom from Little Greene is a confident botanical wallpaper that brings depth and structure to a space without dominating it.

Shown here in the Tivoli colourway, the pattern works well in studies and work‑from‑home spaces where you want visual interest, but not distraction. The leafy design adds movement, while the muted palette keeps the room feeling considered rather than busy.

Unsure whether a bold wallpaper will suit your space? View samples in person — makes the decision so much easier.

Cracks appearing in walls and ceilings can quickly undo an otherwise good decorating job. 😬

That’s where preparation really matters. Invisiscrim is designed to reinforce weak areas before you paint, helping to stabilise the surface and reduce the chance of cracks reappearing later. Used properly, it creates a smoother, more reliable base — which means your filler, paint and finish can do their job properly.

It’s virtually invisible once applied and painted over, so it doesn’t interfere with the final look of the room. Instead, it works quietly in the background, supporting the surface beneath and helping to achieve a cleaner, longer‑lasting result.

Whether you’re a decorator or DIYer tackling a room at home, this is one of those small prep steps that can make a big difference to how the finished space holds up over time.

If you’re unsure whether Invisiscrim is right for your project, pop into our Wetherby store and talk us through what you’re working on — we’re always happy to advise.
