Online design: Paint colour tester pots

Did you know you can order paint tester pots online?

Working as an interior designer, much of our research, sourcing and ordering is done online. Not just now during the coronavirus pandemic but all of the time.

So here are a few online resources which may be useful:

Dulux

Dulux has tester pots of almost all colours online, in handy containers that have an integrated roller so you can easily apply it - £1.90 including delivery. These also have the advantage of fitting through your letterbox.

The Dulux Decorator Centres have temporarily suspended their delivery service due to COVID-19. Under normal circumstances, this is a great option that not many clients tend to know about. Delivery is free for orders over £50 and it is a next day service.

Dulux paints are sold by lots of outlets across the UK, so it may still be possible to order online from a Dulux stockist.
