WIPE AWAY THE GRIME WITH FOCUS WIPE CLEAN PAINT

 

To cut the hassle out of tackling every day marks and smears around the home Focus DIY has come up with the perfect solution - Wipe Clean paint. Wave goodbye to finger marks on walls, as with 30 different shades available there's a colour to match every room.

 

Traditional Touch

 

A traditional themed house feels homely and cosy but when walls and skirting boards become dirty it's less than desirable.

When you've got children and a busy schedule, nothing stays neat for long, which is why FOCUS has introduced its most durable paint range yet. A must for any room that receives a lot of wear and tear, Wipe Clean Paint is extra tough and entirely washable making it ideal to decorate any room in.

Thanks to this, there is no need to fear pale tones anymore. A shade such as Simply Blue offers a calm approach to entrance areas and hallways and can be matched brilliantly to creamy tones like Snowflake emulsion. The combination of blue and white creates a classic look to compliment traditional decor.
Paint Used: Simply Blue and Snowflake Wipe Clean Matt Emulsion, £11.19 per 2.5ltr.

Bring the countryside to even the most urban of houses by adding a touch of Clotted Cream Wipe Clean Paint to the walls. The vanilla colour looks good enough to eat and will maintain its fresh appeal for longer thanks to its hard-wearing formula.

Colour Crazy

 

Don't be shy! Add a splash of colour to your home to liven up and refresh the dullest of rooms. As the paint is so quick and easy to use, you can transform the entire look of your home and decorate walls with bold colours.

Give life to shelving by ditching plain pine in favour of a more modern feel. Try slicking on a coat of emulsion in Sunset Beach to update the look and modernise the atmosphere of your home.

Make any room glow with warmth and ooze sophistication by painting a feature wall in caramel and chocolate tones. With so many shades to choose from you'll be spoilt for choice and as it's ten times tougher than ordinary paint it'll last even longer.

A full range of delicious new shades are now available from tasty 'Cappuccino' and 'Apricot Smoothie' to the naughty but nice 'Chocolate Shake' and 'Cookie Cream.' Mix and match them to give any room a facelift. Plus, they're all fully washable so dirty marks are easy to remove.

Like the perfect ingredients, FOCUS' latest paint offerings can be used side by side to create a unique look. Try adding stripes in Tuscan Dream, Apricot Smoothie and Chocolate Shake. Simply arm yourself with some masking tape and remember to always paint the palest colour first.
