Interior eggshell paint

Referring to our eggshell as dense would be a welcome compliment. Equally at home on woodwork, furniture or primed metalwork, this paint has a penchant for getting the job done.

An elegant, hard-wearing finish

A tough paint with a soft and delicate sheen, this is sometimes preferred to a shiny gloss finish on internal woodwork.

Our interior eggshell paint finish is perfect for transforming woodwork, bedroom and kitchen cabinets, as it will withstand thorough washing.

Where to use interior eggshell paint

An interior eggshell woodwork paint with a beautiful, subtle soft matt finish.

With just a hint of sheen, it provides a delicate, velvety appearance that enhances woodwork without the glare of higher sheen finishes.

This low lustre paint is perfect for achieving a refined, understated elegance, making it ideal for skirting boards, doors and trims in sophisticated, modern or period interiors.

It retains a touch more durability than fully matt finishes, offering a smooth wipeable surface while maintaining a chalky, heritage style aesthetic.

Its resilience to humidity ensures the paint finish and colour theme can be carried through to kitchens and bathrooms.

Getting the best application

To use interior eggshell paint, all surfaces must be properly prepared. Sand and fill any imperfections and ensure surfaces are clean and dry.

For even distribution, apply our multi-surface primer if required, especially if the surface has been previously painted with an oil-based paint.

Shake the can before opening. Decant into a paint container before stirring paint as the inside of the tin can sometimes form a skin. Apply a thin, even coat of eggshell using a brush or roller, and allow to dry completely before applying the second coat.

If you do get any drips it’s best to let the paint fully dry then sand them away before you apply another coat. The paint is fast drying and will go tacky quickly, so unless you catch it straightaway you could leave brush marks.

When you’ve finished painting, seal the paint tin and turn upside down before storing upright to ensure there is an airtight seal to prevent the paint from drying out.
