FAQs – Farrow & Ball Paint
Is Farrow & Ball worth the price?
Yes. Farrow & Ball paints use exceptionally high-quality pigments and resin binders that create
unmatched depth of colour and long-lasting durability. The finish is superior to most mainstream brands.
Which rooms are best for Modern Emulsion?
Modern Emulsion is ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and children's rooms thanks to its
washable, moisture-resistant, scuff-resistant finish.
Can I use Estate Emulsion in high-traffic areas?
Estate Emulsion is beautiful and matt but less durable than Modern Emulsion.
For high-traffic areas, Modern Emulsion is recommended.
Is Farrow & Ball paint eco-friendly?
Absolutely. All Farrow & Ball paints are water-based, low odour and low VOC, making them
suitable for homes where air quality matters.

Farrow & Ball Finishes – FAQs
What is the difference between Estate Emulsion and Modern Emulsion?
Estate Emulsion gives a classic, chalky matt finish that’s ideal for calm living spaces.
Modern Emulsion looks similar but is far tougher, washable and better suited to kitchens,
bathrooms and high-traffic areas.
Which Farrow & Ball finish is best for woodwork and trim?
For interior woodwork and trim, Modern Eggshell offers a subtle, low-sheen finish that’s durable
and easy to clean. Full Gloss gives a higher sheen and a more traditional, mirror-like look for
doors, skirting and feature details.
Which finish should I use in kitchens and bathrooms?
Modern Emulsion is usually the best choice for kitchens and bathrooms. It’s moisture-resistant,
washable and designed to cope with steam, splashes and frequent cleaning without losing its depth
of colour.
What is Farrow & Ball Full Gloss used for?
Full Gloss is a high-shine, ultra-durable finish that’s perfect for doors, skirting boards,
bannisters, radiators and feature woodwork. It can also be used on exterior wood and metal where
you want a smart, traditional gloss look.
Can I use Farrow & Ball exterior paint indoors?
Farrow & Ball exterior paints are formulated specifically for outdoor surfaces and conditions,
so it’s usually better to use interior finishes inside your home. For internal walls use Estate
Emulsion or Modern Emulsion, and for interior woodwork choose Modern Eggshell or Full Gloss.
