Painted the interior our house in Park Road, Richmond Hill entirely in F&B. Went to the shop a few years later for a sample pot to touch up a few small areas to be told by a snooty, tiresome teenager that the colours had been "archived" and thus an impossibility. What chutzpah for a company with a pretence to sensitive "legacy" and all that rot. Avoid at all costs. read more

I've used Farrow and Ball for the last 38 years and find the colours beautiful and the quality of paint excellent. I went through a short phase when I couldn't afford F&B paint but found it a huge mistake to try and find a substitute which lasted as well and looked so good. I have bought a listed building this year and am hoping that I can find enough 'breathable' paint in the Farrow and Ball range to continue using it. I'm just on my way to Richmond to collect some for my front door. Just love it :) read more

My father had much of his Victorian house painted in Farrow and Ball. I thought the paints looked wonderful and was duly impressed to see that there was a whole Farrow and Ball paint shop in my new home town of Richmond. Turns out most of my new flat was also painted in F&B. I am impressed by the richness of the creams and whites by increasingly less in love with the rest of their colour palatte. My front door was painted a pistachio green shade. I thought it looked good but now it's winter I'd say it looks rather drab. I am going to paint it glossy black instead. In the same vein the woodwork in the bathroom is a blue/grey F&B which has a matt finish. I think it will look better a high shine gloss as the room is dark. I'd go into F&B (which is immaculately presented) but I think I'll leave the colours of their range for others. read more
