Affordable Paint Colours for Every Room

Let’s dive into making each room a masterpiece without breaking the bank. Affordable paint colours are the secret weapon in transforming your space.

3 Real-World Examples of Affordable Dupes

To show you exactly how much you can save, here are three of the most popular designer shades we matched this week using the DupeCoat app:

• The Living Room Classic: If you love Farrow & Ball’s Skimming Stone (approx £100/5L), you can switch to Johnstone’s Trade Covaplus Vinyl Matt in the same colour match for roughly £45. That is a £55 saving on just one tin.

• The Kitchen Statement: For a dramatic island, Hague Blue is a favourite. By mixing this colour into Dulux Trade Diamond Scuff-X, you get a finish that is actually more durable than the designer original, for half the price.

• The Hallway Hero: Ammonite is the go-to neutral. Using a Crown Trade Clean Extreme match ensures your hallway can handle muddy boots and scuffs without ruining the expensive aesthetic.

Transforming Your Living Room

Your living room is the heart of your home. It’s where you unwind and entertain. So, why not make it stunning without overspending? Start by identifying the vibe you want—whether it’s cosy, vibrant, or relaxed. A soft grey or warm beige can create a calming atmosphere, while a bold blue or deep green can add a pop of personality.

Most people think designer paint is a must for quality. But the truth is, you can achieve the same high-end look with cost-effective options. DupeCoat’s technology lets you match those luxe hues using trade paints. So, you get premium aesthetics at a fraction of the price. Remember, the longer you wait to refresh your space, the longer it feels dull.

Kitchen Colours on a Budget

The kitchen is not just for cooking; it’s where laughter and memories are made. A fresh coat of paint can make it feel brand new. Light shades like creamy whites or gentle pastels can open up the space and reflect natural light, making your kitchen look more inviting.

Many believe that only expensive paints offer durability. But trade paints can provide similar quality. They’re often more resistant to stains and easier to clean. Pair this with DupeCoat’s precise colour matching, and you’re set for a stunning kitchen makeover that won’t drain your savings. Ready to revamp your kitchen? Don’t put it off—start today!

Understanding Designer Paint Dupes

Designer paint dupes are the key to affordable luxury. They allow you to mimic high-end shades without the high-end cost. So, what exactly are they? Simply put, they’re trade paints mixed to match premium colours. This means you get the same visual impact without the brand name markup.

Ever wondered how decorators achieve such stunning results? They often use these dupes, saving money while maintaining quality. By opting for these alternatives, you’re not settling for less. Instead, you’re making a savvy choice. Why pay more when you can have the same style for less?
