Key Features & Benefits

• Matte Finish: The low‑gloss, non-reflective coating creates an elegant backdrop for décor, reducing glare and hiding minor imperfections on walls and ceilings.
• Smooth Creamy Texture: Formulated with advanced binders and fillers, the paint spreads evenly, minimizing brush marks and ensuring a flawless application.
• Blush Pink Colour: A versatile, muted pink that complements contemporary, minimalist, or classic interiors. It adds subtle depth without overpowering the space.
• High Coverage: One coat typically covers up to 10–12 square metres per litre, reducing the need for multiple layers and saving time.
• Durable & Washable: The emulsion base resists scuffs, stains, and moisture, making it ideal for high‑traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and family rooms. Light cleaning with mild detergent keeps surfaces fresh.
• Low VOC Content: Designed to maintain indoor air quality, the paint emits minimal volatile organic compounds, ensuring a healthier living environment.
• Easy Application: Suitable for both brush and roller use. The paint dries quickly (typically within 2–3 hours), allowing for rapid completion of projects.
• Versatile Use: Perfect for walls, ceilings, and even interior trim. It can be applied to plaster, drywall, or pre‑treated surfaces with standard preparation steps.

Application Guide

For optimal results, follow these steps:

1. Surface Preparation: Clean walls and ceilings to remove dust, grease, or old peeling paint. Repair cracks with filler and sand smooth.
2. Priming (Optional): On new plaster or highly porous surfaces, apply a compatible primer to enhance adhesion and coverage.
3. Mixing: Stir the paint thoroughly for at least 2 minutes. Use a clean mixing stick or electric drill with a mixing attachment.
4. Application Method: Apply with a high‑quality brush for edges and corners, and a roller (3/8” nap) for large flat areas. Work in sections of 1–2 m² to maintain a wet edge.
5. Coating Thickness: Aim for a uniform coat thickness of ~0.5 mm. Avoid over‑loading the brush or roller to prevent drips.
6. Drying & Second Coat: Allow the first coat to dry fully (2–3 hours). Inspect for coverage gaps; apply a second coat if necessary.
7. Finishing Touches: Remove any roller marks with a clean, damp cloth after the paint has cured. Replace trim or fixtures once the surface is completely dry.

Design Inspiration & Usage Ideas

• Modern Minimalist Spaces: Pair the blush pink walls with white or grey furnishings for a clean, airy feel.
• Cozy Family Rooms: Combine with warm wood tones and soft textiles to create an inviting atmosphere.
• Creative Bedrooms: Use as a subtle backdrop for bold accent pieces like art prints or patterned bedding.
• Commercial Interiors: The matte finish reduces glare on screens, making it suitable for offices, conference rooms, and retail displays.

Maintenance & Longevity

The paint’s durable emulsion base resists everyday wear. To keep surfaces looking new:

• Wipe with a damp microfiber cloth when dust accumulates.
• Avoid harsh chemicals; use mild dish soap for spot cleaning.
• Reapply after 5–7 years in high‑traffic areas to refresh the finish.

Environmental & Health Considerations

The low VOC formulation ensures minimal indoor air pollution, making it suitable for homes with children or pets. Proper ventilation during application and drying is recommended, but the product’s reduced emissions contribute to a healthier living environment overall.
