This calming shade of Wattle is super soothing creating serene and grounding interiors. It’s the softest of colours and pairs incredibly well with both our darker and lighter colours. In the store it sits beautifully against Hudson Black and also works well with all our other hues. It's one of AA's mid tone colours - at the lighter end as its almost a neutral but not quite as it has incredible depth.

FAQs

Paint Questions Answered

What is the difference between Eggshell and Emulsion?

Emulsion is a flat matte paint with no sheen and should be used to paint your walls and ceilings.

Eggshell has a slight sheen but is more durable, so it should be used to paint all of your trims including window frames, skirting boards, door frames and radiators.

Eggshell can be used on walls too.  It's perfect for high traffic areas like hallways and bathrooms and can add a contrasting design element to your scheme if you want to create extra intrigue with textures especially when you use the same hue. 

How should I test paint colours?

Always buy sample pots before you decide on your colour palette and make your decision after you’ve painted the largest area you can. Swatch cards can be too small to provide a full picture so take the plunge and paint a wall or at least half a wall.

If this is not an option paint a large sample on a big piece of card or lining paper. Tape it to your wall look at your sample throughout the day to see how it looks and feels when the light changes. It helps to keep it there for several days/weeks to really get the feel of your considered hue. 

How much paint do I need?

Coverage is dependent upon the surface being painted, but the following can be used as a guide: 

2.5L tin of emulsion/eggshell will cover approximately 25-35 square meters (one coat)

5L tin of emulsion/eggshell will cover approximately 50-70 square meters (one coat)

Typically, two coats of paint will be required to give the desired finish (although this is dependent upon the thickness of application and the surface being painted).

Should I paint my walls and ceilings the same colour?

When you paint the ceiling out in the same colour as your walls you blur the boundaries and the room feels bigger and creates a seamless transition. If you have a white ceiling you accentuate the boundaries and quite often the lack of height in a room.  Pushing the same colour around your whole room creates the perfect backdrop for the rest of your furniture, rugs and accessories.  If you are not ready to take the full plunge into colour drenching your whole room, consider painting your ceiling in a slightly lighter tone to your walls, a white ceiling only ever looks good with white walls (if you like that kind of thing of course)!

    Wattle Paint


    Why you'll love it

    Designed to make every room look magical, this soft neutral paint colour is timeless and warm. It pairs well with blacks, browns, greens and chalky hues. Its undertones have such beautiful depth making this paint incredibly versatile for any room in the house. You can also use it throughout your whole decor scheme for a harmonious yet subtle flow from one floor to the next. 

    No Fail Styling Tips

    Restful and cocooning, our paint colour Wattle looks equally at home in the hallway as it does in the dining room. It’s an effortless, sophisticated hue and a failsafe paint option for bedrooms, home offices and not forgetting conservatories. Why not do as AA does and stick to this one hue throughout the entire room. By painting the ceiling, all skirtings, window frames and doors and of course the walls all the same colour magic happens. There is less straining of the eye so the space automatically looks more considered and as boundaries get blurred rooms feel instantly bigger as the eye is not distracted by the change in ceiling and woodwork colour. Clever no? If in any doubt, tune in once a week on Sunday at 11am to AA’s Style Surgery Live on Instagram where you’ll see her whole house painted out in this magical way. You can also ask her anything from paint colour combos to decorating advice.
