Autumn & Winter Paint Colours

Thorndown-Somerset-Heritage-Colour-Collection-Wood-Paint-blog

Autumn and winter seasons are full of rich warm colours, or the moody earthy tones of a brooding landscape.

Thorndown Wood Paint colours can be used to re-create these feelings of the seasons in the home and garden, and with the high quality VOC free colour pigments that go into our paints, the colours will stay strong and true for many years.

Paint Colours for Autumn

Luscious, nature-inspired colours

‘Green Green Grass, Blue Blue Sky’ might be the lyrics to one of the summer’s biggest earworms, but they are also the inspiration behind this Autumn’s biggest colour trends, according to eco paint specialists Thorndown.

Thorndown Design Director Caroline Thornborough believes more of us are looking to the natural world around us as we come to style our homes as temperatures drop.

She said: “The natural world has been very much in the forefront of people’s minds and consumer choices, which has had a huge impact on design.

“For the autumn and winter months, warm, comforting but darker and more striking colours are set to be used with dark lush greens such as Field Green and Yew Green, comforting warm and wholesome dark blues like Bishop Blue, and the enriching dark plum of Whortleberry set to be the perfect colours for the seasons ahead.

“Greys will also continue to be popular, with both dark greys – like Bergamot Grey – and lighter shades, such as Zinc Grey, complimenting and contrasting wonderfully with the darker more vibrant colours.”

Winter Warmers

Turn up the colour in the garden as the temperatures drop

Add some warmth and cheer to your garden with Thorndown Paint‘s handpicked selection of its eco-friendly wood paints to add a winter glow-up.

Thorndown’s Design Director Caroline Thornborough has picked out a fabulous foursome of shades to defy the grey days and keep the garden bursting with colour as foliage recedes.

They are Rowan Berry Red, Foxwhelp, Mudgley Mustard and Sundowner Orange.

Caroline said: “Gardens are filled with colour across summer and spring, but I think it’s really important to keep colour across the darker, colder months.

“Wooden garden furniture that has been used daily throughout the summer or wooden planters that have faded in the sun will be begging for a winter makeover. So why not consider adding some warmth with the rich shades of Rowan Berry Red, Foxwhelp, Mudgley Mustard and Sundowner Orange?

“Even our 150ml sample pot which is just £5 will go a long way if you want to give smaller garden pieces a facelift.”

Thorndown’s specialist wood paint is available in three sizes, ranging from a 2.5-litre can to a 150ml sample pot. Prices start at £5 for a 150ml sample pot, £20 for a 750ml tin or £50 for a 2.5-litre can.

VOC free colour pigments of the highest quality go into Thorndown Wood Paint meaning that the colour you love is the colour you’ll see for many years without fading or discolouring. The colour pigments perform at the highest levels in the Blue Wool scale which measures light fast and permanence of colour dyes. They also perform at the highest levels for weather resistance so are built to last, making them perfect for exterior use.

All paints are made fresh to order with a RAL tinting machine that not only offers a colour reproduction accuracy rate of 99.9% but also means that in addition to the colours on the Thorndown colour charts, there are over 1800 RAL Classic and Design colours available, and colours from other paint ranges can be colour matched in Thorndown’s high performing wood paint.

Shed Makeover with Organised By Charlotte

Thorndown-Wood-Paint-Bullrush-Green-on-Forest-shed_Organised-by-Charlotte_bh

Sheds are a great addition to your garden providing the perfect space to store everyday items from toys to tools. Thorndown Wood Paint is perfect for sheds as it is specifically designed for exterior use, protecting it for years from the weather. It also comes in a wide variety of paint colours that are made using VOC free architectural grade colour pigments that stay strong and true for years.

Professional organiser, Charlotte, needed to replace her old dilapidated shed so Forest Garden Products came to the rescue with one of their timber sheds, and we helped out with the Wood Paint.

Charlotte is a professional organiser and interior stylist, transforming any space from a kitchen to a wardrobe and can make anything look good from the inside out!

It doesn’t stop at interiors, as Charlotte has a keen passion for the garden and has been desperate to transform her shed since moving in. Not only did she want it to be perfectly organised but she wanted it to have a style flare, as why shouldn’t every space reflect your style, even the shed!

Using a bold pink and green theme of Goddess Green and Cheddar Pink, the shed looks amazing but still holds all the key garden items whilst managing to look amazing too!

Charlotte’s top tips for organising sheds;

1. It’s really important to start with a declutter; take everything out of the shed and you will realise all the things you don’t need taking up space!

2. Categorise everything! Place all paint in one pile, garden tools and so on. Then you can clearly see what you have and how you can find a system to keep it all organised

3. Watertight boxes are great for storing paddling pools as well as garden lights for the winter, as the boxes they come in take up a lot of room and you can group items together

4. Use the walls of the shed; place hooks so you can hang larger items like snow sledges or ladders so that they don’t get lost

5. Place items you need the most access to at the front – like bikes / garden gloves 💫

Jacqui Joseph Designs with Thorndown Wood Paint

Thorndown-Wood-Paint-Jacqui-Joseph-Designs-Blog

Jacqui Joseph is renowned in the worlds of fashion and home interiors, and features regularly on television in shows such as “Money For Nothing”, “Homes Under the Hammer”, “This Morning Live”, “Lorraine” and “BBC Morning Live”.

Jacqui is a whizz at design and transformations, and used Thorndown Wood Paint to upcyle an old Stag dresser that was destined for the tip. She rescued the Stag chest moments before it was about to be thrown in the skip at one of the Recycling Centre’s she ‘frequents’ whilst filming for BBC1’s Money For Nothing.

Below she describes how she transformed the old piece of furniture into a stunner.

‘I was really pleased I managed to save it, although it was looking a little worse for wear! I knew it had potential to live on.

After removing the hardware and giving the chest a good clean and a light sand, I went in with a mix of two colours from Thorndown Paints (Bishop Blue & Cavepool Grey) I loved both colours! And they mixed so well and look amazing.

I love the fact that Thorndown Paints are made in the UK, this is really important to me. With my Jacqui Joseph Designs Home Accessories everything is made in the UK…even the items like the serving trays which I don’t physically make! I finished the top with a foiling technique that compliments the colour tone. Thank you Thorndown Paints!’

Jacqui hand painted stripes on the drawer bottoms by masking out diagonal strips and painting the Bishop Blue and Cavepool Grey mix in the gaps. It’s such an effective trick and makes the drawers look even classier!

Thorndown-Wood-Paint-Bishop-Blue-and-Cavepool-Grey-mix-by-Jacqui-Joseph-Designs_5

The foiling technique gives the top of the dresser an aged patina look that finishes it off beautifully. We love this piece and it’s great to see what a talented designer can create with our paints. What’s even better is that this piece of furniture has been saved and can carry on being used in a new home.

Platinum Jubilee Decorating with Peelable Glass Paint

Thorndown-Peelable-Glass-Paint-Platinum-Jubilee-painted-decorations-and-window_blog

Making decorations for the Platinum Jubilee is cheap and easy with Thorndown Peelable Glass Paint. You can paint your own bunting onto windows and reuse or repurpose old glass bottles and jars, saving them from the recycling box and transforming them into decorative household items, such as tea light holders.

Thorndown Peelable Glass Paint is water-based, non-toxic, low in odour and VOC, and is made with a 100% recycled plastics resin so it’s pretty good for the environment and cuts down on waste.

In the gallery above, some old glass jars have been painted with stencils and transformed into pretty tea light holders, ready for Platinum Jubilee celebrations. There’s a dragon painted in Dragon Red, Swan White unicorn and palace painted in Elf Blue. Dragon Red stripes were painted on an old glass jug so the party table would have jugs in red, white and blue.

On the windows I painted bunting flags in Dragon Red, Swan White and Elf Blue, using Zinc Grey for the bunting string and crown and palace stencils. You could use a triangle stencil for the bunting flags applying the paint with a brush, mini roller or sponge, or apply a tape such as FrogTape to mark out the lines of the triangle bunting. I went for the cheapest option and just painted on freehand.

When it came to the bunting stretch in the middle window, the first time I went off line and painted some flags too high. I could have followed the advice I gave to a customer and painted on the bunting string first so I had a line to follow, but I didn’t. However with Peelable Glass Paint it’s easy to fix mistakes. Either wipe the paint off straight away using a damp cloth, or leave it to dry, then scrape away messy or smudged areas with a finger nail or other object such as a teaspoon, or peel it off and start again.

I went for the peeling option as it’s a lot more fun. I left the paint to dry during the week so it had plenty of time to cure and form a film, then the next weekend I peeled it off, painted a bunting line in the right place, then painted on new flags. I also decided to paint a second coat on the dried flags as a second coat makes the colour richer and the coating more solid/opaque.

Peelable Glass Paint is designed originally as a greenhouse shading paint so it lets some light through. When light passes through it you can see application marks but when no light is passing through, such as when viewed externally, it is opaque/solid.

With the crown and palace stencil I used Zinc Grey Peelable Glass Paint and an old bathroom sponge to apply the paint. I overloaded the sponge a bit so paint seeped under the stencil and smudged, but I just left it to dry then tidied it up by scraping away paint from areas where it shouldn’t have been with my finger nail, the edge of a teaspoon and the end of an art paint brush, making the image far crisper and cleaner.

It was so much fun creating the window scene and tea light holders and now the perfect party scene is created for Platinum Jubilee celebrations!

You can buy Peelable Glass Paint in 40ml craft tins so it’s really cheap and a little paint goes a long way, enabling you to carry out lots of little painting projects. Below are some videos showing how quick and easy it was to paint these items.

We hope that you enjoy these additions to the collection 🦊🎨

Wood Paint Price Increase & Improvements

PRICE INCREASE

Due to a constant series of substantial increases in prices from suppliers of raw materials and packaging throughout 2021, we are having to increase the price of our Wood Paint in all sizes bar the 150ml tin, which we have fixed at the price of £5.00.

As of Monday 4th April 2022 the prices will be increasing as below.
750ml: £20.00
2.5l: £50.00
20l: £350.00 (available for direct purchase from the factory)

Whilst we appreciate that price increases are never easy, Thorndown Wood Paint is very high performing and compared to the prices of comparable and other big brands, we still offer very good value for money for the quality of raw materials that goes into our paint.

AND THE GOOD NEWS IS . . .
We have added flash rust protection to our Wood Paint meaning that when you paint it on and it hits metal such as screws and nails, it will stop rust from occurring so no more nasty rust stains coming through the coating! If rust is already there then you should be able to clean it off so there’s none left, then paint on a coloured or clear paint and the rust won’t come back.

The threshold for free delivery will remain at £60.00.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

Thorndown Wood Paint on Bee Hives

Thorndown-UV-Clear-Wood-Paint-on-National-Bee-Supplies-hive-Blog

National Bee Supplies selected Thorndown Wood Paint for use on their range of cedar bee hives and polystyrene hives and nucleus boxes.

They are proud to be the leading manufacturer of Canadian Western Red Cedar beehives. The company was founded in the 1980s with the mission to provide the best quality hives in the market; 40 years later, and their principles of using the finest materials and quality craftsmanship still apply today.

In 2021, they assessed their carbon footprint and have been working hard to ensure that they more than offset their production. They’ve achieved this through the installation and refurbishment of over 1000 solar panels, tree planting, and wildflower meadow creation down where they’re based in Devon.

Their commitment to the environment and to providing high-quality products led them to Thorndown’s range of water-based eco paints.

Their Canadian Western Red Cedar wood will last for many years without treatment, but it will take on a silvery appearance over time. For those who wish to preserve the glorious colours and grain patterns of the timber, Thorndown’s translucent UV Clear Wood Paint is a perfect choice.

UV Clear Wood Paint is designed specifically for exterior use and creates a high performing water repellent protective coating. The UV blockers slow down the greying process and will keep the cedar timber looking brand new for years. The picture in the gallery above shows a hive with half un-treated and the other painted with Thorndown UV Clear, then left to weather over the winter months.

They’ve also introduced some of Thorndown’s coloured paint. These are perfect for their polystyrene hives and nucleus boxes which need to be painted to protect them from the weather.

First and foremost, comes the safety of bees. Thorndown’s water-based formula with virtually no VOC or odour means the beauty of their hives can be preserved with no harm to the bees. Once the coating has dried bees can be returned quickly to their hive homes.

For more information please visit their website National Bee Supplies.
