beauty of the countryside indoors with soft, delicate neutrals. The paint is made in the UK, and is durable for walls, ceilings, wood and metal with a luxury matte finish. It’s air purifying too, created with a special additive to make the paint completely non-toxic and harmless.


The House Beautiful range embodies modern, contemporary style, perfect for customers looking for more bold, vibrant pops of colour. The paint is also made in the UK and its washable finish is suitable for walls, wood and metal. Its stain repellent technology means that any liquid touching the painted surface turns to droplets, making it far easier to keep clean.


Each range has 30 carefully curated, on-trend shades. Jason Hines, Trading


Director for Decorative & Home, Homebase, said: “We’re excited to launch two exclusive paint ranges with our partner, Hearst UK. Filled with plenty of beautiful colour and quality


finishes, our


customers can pair these new ranges with our stylish furniture and home accessories.” “As the home and garden


experts, we’ve got the inspiration, products and expertise to make decorating easy, and we can’t wait to see how our customers transform their homes with the gorgeous Country Living and House Beautiful paint ranges.” Sharon Douglas, Chief Brand
