19 HMG Paints Colours used in Collyhurst Village show homes A
s the development of Collyhurst Village ushers in an exciting new chapter for the community, HMG Paints is proud to play a
part in shaping this transformation. As Manchester continues to grow through regeneration, the team at HMG Paints is delighted to welcome new neighbours and support a project that refl ects the spirit and heritage of the area. Working collaboratively with FEC UK and
Project Furniture Residential, HMG Paints supplied a full range of interior coatings for the Collyhurst Village show home. Drawing inspiration from the company’s iconic Manchester Colour Collection, HMG developed bespoke colour palettes designed to complement the village’s architecture while capturing the warmth, innovation and character of the region’s past. A key product used throughout the show
home was HMG’s Vinyl Matt Emulsion, a premium water-based interior coating known for its exceptional coverage, smooth fl at fi nish and long-lasting durability. Manufactured at HMG Paints Manchester, the Vinyl Matt Emulsion provided the perfect foundation for achieving the show home’s refi ned, contemporary aesthetic. Its ease of application and consistent fi nish ensured a seamless decorating process for the design and installation teams. To support the bespoke schemes created for
this project, each batch of Vinyl Matt Emulsion was tinted to order, allowing for precise colour matching across all interior spaces. The product is also supplied in sustainable packaging, aligning with the broader regeneration project’s focus
on responsible. For Collyhurst Village, HMG developed exclusive
colours and utilised tones from its Essentials Colour Range, a curated selection featured within the Manchester Colour Collection Shade Card. With 35 carefully crafted hues, from archival classics to modern, trend-led tones – this range showcases over 95 years of HMG’s colour expertise. Several key shades were selected for the show
home. Angel Meadow was used as a lounge accent wall, paired with a warm off -white inspired by HMG’s original Mancnolia. This combination brings a soft, inviting atmosphere while off ering depth and contrast. In the bedrooms, the colour story evolves
to suit individual personalities while maintaining a cohesive feel. The second bedroom introduces a bolder palette, combining a dark teal velvet bed with a vivid blue feature wall designed for a teenager with a dynamic style. Newton Blue was applied to complement a neon focal point, resulting in a vibrant, modern space that mirrors the forward-thinking development of
Collyhurst Village. HMG also created a brand-new shade
exclusively for this project. Grove - a rich, earthy green with warm undertones which brings balance and calm to the interior, enhancing the home’s modern yet tranquil atmosphere. The decorator’s creative use of this shade further elevated the space, adding depth and natural harmony. A standout moment within the project is the
study, highlighted by bold blocks of colour and warm rust accents. The feature wall includes an abstract off -centre
circle painted in Herbert, one of HMG’s most celebrated Manchester Colour Collection shades, paired beautifully with Fitzgeorge to create a distinctive focal point full of character and style. Creating bespoke colours for Collyhurst Village has been an excellent opportunity for HMG Paints to showcase its long-standing colour expertise. The team is proud to have supported this local project - quite literally just up the road - working alongside FEC UK, Project Furniture Residential and all partners involved in bringing the show home to life. For those inspired by the colours featured
in Collyhurst Village, the Manchester Colour Collection and Essentials Shade Card are available to explore and order directly from the HMG Paints Shop (Colour Tools. It’s the perfect way to bring a touch of Manchester’s heritage, creativity and colour into your own home.

Karta named Winner at SBID International Design Awards
F
or decades, most resilient fl ooring has relied on plastics and petrochemical, materials that
are carbon intensive to produce and diffi cult to recycle at end of life. As millions of square metres are fi tted globally each year, the environmental cost grows. Karta was founded to offer a better way, and, this year, that mission was recognised internationally. Karta’s Recycled Leather Series has been named Winner in the Product Design: Flooring & Floor Coverings category at the SBID International
Design Awards 2025, recognised over long established brands such as Amtico and Polyfor. Judged by industry experts and shaped by a public vote, the award honours products that combine design excellence with meaningful environmental progress. Each Karta fl oor begins with circular materials. The Recycled Leather Series diverts leather offcuts from landfi ll, re- engineering them into a durable, tactile core. A PEFC-certifi ed wood fi bre layer makes use of timber offcuts that would otherwise be wasted, while a cork backing, harvested without felling a single tree, provides comfort and removes the need for underlay. The surface pattern of every plank
is created using patented super-HD print technology and an archive of real timber built over three decades by Ted Todd and Woodworks. With no
recolours and no repeats in 20 boards, these fl oors preserve the authentic tone, variation, and character of real timber. A plastic-free Karta Plated® topcoat delivers AC5 performance for commercial and residential use. This award recognises that sustainability, performance, and beauty can coexist.
