Decoration Paint Old White covers approximately 8 to 10 m² per litre per coat. For an even and durable result, we recommend applying at least two coats. The exact coverage depends on the substrate and the absorbency of the surface.

The colour Old White belongs to our colour group: “Oh My White” / cream. Cream is the perfect alternative to white when you want a shade that feels just slightly warmer. It forms an excellent base for a natural, warm atmosphere in the interior. When cream and white are brought together in one space, they create a refined and layered ambience. In a way, white elevates cream — giving it presence and depth as a true colour

No, Decoration Paint is not officially a chalk paint. Genuine chalk paint has a different base composition. Decoration Paint is of significantly higher quality than traditional chalk or lime paints. A key difference is durability: Decoration Paint is washable, whereas chalk paint generally is not. Thanks to its powdery matte finish, it has a similar appearance to chalk or lime paint — but with far better performance.

Absolutely! We spent a long time perfecting the ideal formula to achieve the highest quality and the most beautiful finish. As a result, the paint is washable and suitable for both interior and exterior use.

The paint is porous, which means grease stains may occur — for example, when used in a kitchen. Our advice? Apply the Decoration Paint “extra matte varnish” as a protective finish. This varnish is transparent, colourless, and provides ideal protection for your painted surface. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Because the paint is porous, it does not protect wood in the way a lacquer would. In this case as well, the “extra matte varnish” is the perfect solution — apply it to provide additional protection for wooden surfaces.

Yes, Decoration Paint has an ideal texture and provides excellent coverage. For standard painting on walls, two to three coats are usually sufficient to achieve a beautiful, full finish. The paint is also highly durable and suitable for almost all surfaces.

Would you like a smooth, even effect on the wall? Apply the paint evenly with a paint roller, making sure there is sufficient paint on the roller. This helps prevent visible roller marks and creates a calm, uniform finish.

Would you prefer a more lively, dynamic effect? Apply the paint in broad strokes using a block brush or paintbrush. This creates an artisanal, matt chalk-look finish with more character and depth.

You can also determine the finish yourself when painting wooden furniture. For an opaque and even result, apply the paint with a brush or roller. Would you like the wood grain to remain visible? Use less paint or dilute the paint slightly, allowing the natural texture of the wood to show beautifully through the colour.

With the same Decoration Paint, you can create either a sleek, modern effect or a lived-in, natural look.

Always ensure that the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust and grease. Unlike most types of paint, you do NOT need to sand furniture or accessories before applying Decoration Paint.

The paint can be applied with a brush or roller. When using specific decorative techniques, it may be diluted with water or varnish if required.

Yes, Decoration Paint can be used on bleeding wood. Unlike many other types of paint, it is usually not necessary to apply a primer or base coat first.

Because Decoration Paint has a matt, chalk-like and slightly porous texture, substances from bleeding wood may sometimes still become visible through the paint layer. We therefore recommend applying a good coat of Decoration Extra Matte Varnish before painting.

This varnish seals the surface and helps prevent substances from the wood from bleeding through the paint. Once the varnish has dried thoroughly, you can apply Decoration Paint in your chosen colour.

This ensures a beautiful, even and durable result, including on wood species that are prone to bleeding.

Application & Coverage

– Touch dry after approx. 1 hour
– Recoatable after 3–5 hours
– Coverage: approx. 8 - 10 m² per litre

Applying multiple coats creates a softer and deeper colour effect.
