SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST GREAT COLOURS …

Fenwick & Tilbrook is one of the leading bespoke paint brands in the UK . Founders Simon and Clare Tilbrook first got into paint by reviving the manufacture for a brand that had ceased trading but showed huge promise .
Identifying a gap in the market for a premium paint brand offering a truly high quality product , they launched their own range of 120 colours in Spring 2018 and began to sell their pigment-rich paints under their own brand of Fenwick & Tilbrook . Fast forward five years and the brand offer a fabulous range of colours in six different finishes ( from scrubbable emulsion to highly breathable Claypaint for lime plaster ), beautiful quality colour chip cards , with great customer service at the heart of it all .
With a deep connection to the environment , the unique and beautiful colours of the British countryside , coastline and wildlife have long inspired the Fenwick & Tilbrook paint range .
Many of the paint names are based on areas in Norfolk and this is because the brand is based in the beautiful village of Attlebridge between Norwich and the north Norfolk coastline . This part of the UK is a constant source of inspiration for the team when it comes to creating new palettes and colours , with some favourites including Sheringham Beach , Holkham , Cley and Blickling Woods .
NEW for 2023 , the brand have launched bigger and better painted sheets to give customers a choice of sample types . The A5 paper samples help to reduce sampling costs to the customer whilst providing a less wasteful and environmentally friendly alternative to sample pots ( which remain available to purchase in 100ml pots ).
Brand Director Anna Hill comments ; “ We create all our colours by eye , mixing responsibly sourced solids with high quality natural pigments until the perfect shade is born . Our paints have incredible chroma and this intense depth of colour comes from the quality of the pigments found in each tin . The paint is water based and low in VOCs , making it one of the best choices of paint on the market ”.
Whether you are a fan of bright and bold shades or prefer a classic and elegant neutral , Fenwick & Tilbrook have an extensive palette to choose from . They also offer a bespoke colour creation service .
Fenwick & Tilbrook is made to order and dispatched same day , priced from £ 27 for 1 litre of Pure Matt emulsion .
