Mylands
Paint

As the oldest family-owned paint brand in the UK, Mylands of London has been developing premium paints and polishes since the Lambeth-based company was first established in 1884. Generations of the Mylands family have perfected the art of producing rich pigments with real depth of colour.

Their dedication to their craft and the unrivalled quality of their products gained Mylands a well-earned reputation amongst the most discerning clientele. Not only has Mylands paint been a staple of successful film, television, and theatre productions for decades, but the company was even awarded a coveted Royal Warrant in 1985 – the ultimate seal of approval.

After more than 135+ years in business, Mylands has become the go-to luxury paint brand for sumptuous colours in timeless shades. Blending traditional techniques with the highest-quality natural ingredients, Mylands paints always provide exceptional coverage and a durable finish.

Their lustrously thick yet easy-to-use formulations were the best-kept secret of interior design professionals and scenic artists for well over a century, with Mylands originally operating as a trade-only supplier. As of 2012, Mylands paints and polishes became available directly to customers everywhere, with a range of hues and finishes to suit both interior and exterior applications.
