    Aren’t parents supposed to have the big bedroom? Even single parents can have the big bedroom without feeling guilty can’t they? So why did I feel so guilty when I recently asked my daughter to swap rooms with me? I’m just too soft, that’s why! As you can imagine, my suggestion wasn’t received with cheers of delight. No, it was received in the usual manner of a teenager who feels she’s being cheated out of something. She sulked. It didn’t help though, because I’m the big person here and I can pull rank. Her next step was to argue her case. Where ... more

    Advantages Advantages Lovely consistency, easy to apply, almost fumeless

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I have spent the last two days painting my house from top to bottom, applying somewhere in the region of 35 litres to my walls and ceilings, so it only seems fair that I should write a review on the paint that I have used, even though I can barely stand the sight of the stuff right now! This is no reflection on the paint, I'm just really tired! I chose Dulux Coloured emulsion because of past experience. We have done a lot of decorating during the thirteen years that we have been homeowners, and so obviously tried many paints, but after a lot of hard graft and sweat, my only conclusion is that ... more

    Advantages Advantages good quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages a little doesn't go a long way!

    Having just bought a new house I have very little time to spare as I'm busy packing/unpacking, organising deliveries as well as looking after a 1 year old. One of the tasks which we have just had to do is painting Hope's bedroom and I didn't want to spend a long time on this as we were working on a strict time scale but at the same time I wanted it to look good and not cost the earth. I chose Dulux emulsion because mainly I liked the colour- sugard lilac- and also because I know that Dulux is a trusted brand. I have used shop's own brands before and not been happy with the quality- the paint ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Nice consistency, good range of colours

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive, like most paints!

    I have been going through a bit of a DIY phase lately, painting every room in the house – it’s amazing how a fresh coat of paint or a change in colour can really give a room a new feel. Perhaps I should be more adventurous, but Dulux is the only brand of pain I use. I once tried B&Q’s own brand of paint for my kid’s bedroom which was okay, but I went straight back to my Dulux for further projects. For a start they have a vast array of colours to choose from, even many variants of white which are absolutely ideal for just that slightest hint of a colour. If you have a colour in mind it is ... more

    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 ... more

    5 Stars Dulux Once, brilliant paint 05/10/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Covers in one coat, consistency

    Disadvantages Disadvantages price

    This paint is excellent. When i opened the pot, i was being really careful not to spill it everywhere, as it felt loaded up to the top. When i got into it, i found that the paint was of a very thick nature. Even if you tipped it to the side it didnt moved (a bit like satin, but thicker). I read the instructions, which were good and clear and di what it said. I then started painting with it and found it excellent to paint with, it won't drip as its so thick, and it covered excellently. You can't spread the paint o far as it looses its consistency, but i would definately reccomend it over normal ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good coverage, nice colours

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    I've never used Dulux paint before until this week, mainly because it is more expensive than others, but now I'll never use anything else. I've just painted my living room in Rich Red and it only needed one coat! Admittedly it was going over terracotta so it was the same sort of shade but it wasn't even slightly patchy.I've always used B&Q's own brand before and had to use two or three coats, so although I was saving £4 on the initial cost I was actually using twice as much paint, so it was a false economy.The colour choices are actually better with the Dulux as well. I expect if you were ... more

    5 Stars Paint for any occasion 27/01/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy application and multitude of colours

    Disadvantages Disadvantages a bit pricey

    As a painter with a passion I wouldn't feel alive without a paint brush in my hand. I have used Dulux paint extensively throughout my house inside and out. It must be the easiest paint to use with smooth application and the fact that two coats is all that is needed - I have frequently not bothered with an undercoat. Most times I will sand down the surface to be painted with a course sand paper so that it just takes the gloss off the surface and then paint. The variety of colours is absolutely astonishing every colour possible to imagine. It comes in 2ltr, 4ltr, 10ltr and you can purchase small ... more

    Advantages Advantages easy to appl.y, goives great coverage each and every time

    Disadvantages Disadvantages pricey

    I have recently painted a large double bedroom using two different colours from this range of paint. As the brand name suggests it is one of the leading brands and as a result of this you can expect quality from the outset. It comes in a whole range of colours that can easily be identified from a colour chart available from pretty much and reputable diy store. If you still cannot find the desired shade it is possible to customise the colour even further and have a blend made up of your own choice. The paint itself is quite exensive in comparison to its main competitors but you should find that ... more

    I have just decorated my living room in this paint in soft truffle and truly sand colours, definitely will stick to this for decorating in the future as worked out cheaper than the cheaper paints as only needed half as much paint, gave a really good finish and came out the the colour it gave on the tin which a lon of the cheaper paints dont. Also got good deal as on offer at 3 for 2 in Homebase in Focus at present. Focus slightly cheaper at £14.99 a tin, Homebase was £15.49for 2.5 litre but did have to hunt round a bit to find the colours we wanted, could have asked them to price match I ... more
