I recently decided to decorate my kitchen, as it has not been decorated for two years and was starting to look a little tired and gruby, so I decided to visit my local DIY store for paint, I was looking for a nice bright colour of paint as I have a large kitchen and need it to look clean, bright and fresh. I looked at a number of top brand paints but I couldnt find the colour that I wanted, I then seen a paint chart with loads of different colours, that could be mixed in the store, these were available for kitchens and bathrooms. I picked my colour which was easter morning 2 (bright yellow) and took the card to the counter to have my paint mixed it only took a few minutes and my paint was ready to apply to my walls.
*******Applying the paint*******
My kitchen was a nice purple colour so I decided to apply a couple of white emultion undercoats to my walls before adding my kitchen paint, to make sure I had enougth to cover all of my walls. When my walls were dry I used my roller to apply my kitchen paint which went on the walls thinly, it took three coats of this paint before I decided that it looked fine and that the job was finished.
*******The after effects*******
My walls look very smooth and silky, the colour that I bought was a great choice as my kitchen now looks very fresh and clean, everyone has commented on the colour and I am very pleased with it.
*******quality********
I found this paint to be of great value and the quality is very good, having small kids can be a nightmare at times with sticky fingers and juice going everywhere, but I dont need to panic anymore as I can wipe it clean without the paint coming off the wall, 1 tin seems to go quite far as I have a very large kitchen and I had to give my walls three coats of paint.
**********Recommendation*********
I would recommend this paint, its not only great for people with small kids as kitchens can get grubby quite easily with all the cooking eating and drinking that goes on in them. Well worth extra couple of pounds for a better result that is easy to maintain!
...Dulux, yes I said Dulux, Dulux did it again with a paint that has been specially designed for bathrooms and kitchens, a paint which is both moisture and stain resistant and a great benefit to places that are bombarded with steamy hot atmospheres, and places that are also used to splashes and splatters of this that and the other.
The colours that they offer you in this remarkable paint range from pure white, which is available in 1L/2.5L plus other ... ...tub. One good thing about Dulux bathroom/kitchen paint, it doesn’t contain lead.
It can be bought in most large DIY stores, B&Q, Homebase etc. Prices do vary from store to store.
Have fun with your painting, start with a clear canvas, experiment with different colours and enjoy, be happy knowing it will wipe clean in times of need.
Thanks for the read gill1960 ...

Advantages: Good quality, good choice of colours Disadvantages: Price
I have used Dulux-Emulsion in several occasions and have 3 rooms in my house decorated with Dulux paint. The colour is very rich, does not smell as much as the competition and is very easy to apply. The Dulux-Once range is suitable for every room and only needs one coat. My living room is decorated with their "Sugared lilac" colour and looks still fresh, even after 3 years.
Their "Kitchen and Bathroom" range is suitable for most rooms and is usually cheaper than Dulux-Once. However, there is not much difference in quality. We have got the colour "Lemon-Peel" in our kitchen and we only needed one coat.
Overall, the quality and choice of colours makes Dulux the one to go for, even if the price is a bit more expensive. It is worth getting a sample pot for £0.85-£1, to experience the quality. ...
Advantages: With Kitchen a nd bathroom paint it is more durable Disadvantages: Someone has to apply it to the walls
, as I found out buying the cheapest of the cheap really is giving yourself a sense of false security, it is truly rubbish, I have never seen white gloss turn yellow before my before!
Ok, first I tried Wilkinsons own brand, but after several coats of the weakest looking substance I have seen since my Grandmothers cups of tea, I decided to try again!
Well my local B&Q actually helped make my decision in trying them by having a half price sale on all of their home brand paints so i had to go along and see what they could offer!
1. The Kitchen and Bathroom paint is cheaper than Crown or Dulux but is the same quality.
2. Having paid extreme amounts for both Crown and Dulux before, I have not found it to be that special.
3. The colour range provided by B&Q is excellent
4. As I found out B&Q paint does not splash any more or less than ...
