Television takes the brand into millions of homes - September 06

Television coverage of the brand is growing constantly as the makeover genre continues to expand and get ratings. Little Greene is the main paint supplier for Sarah Beeny’s new series Streets Ahead – most people remember the episode in Penge where the entire street was painted in different shades of green all supplied by Little Greene. In the planning stages Sarah’s office was reputedly covered with Little Greene sample pots and colour cards.

There is a new season of filming for 60 Minute Makeover which is featuring the brand along with Channel 4’s Selling Houses and Property Ladder.
The House Doctor’s continued appreciation of the quality of the product is probably generating the most awareness among consumers. The distinctive paint tins are often seen in the programme, along with voice over mentions and sole sponsorship of Ann Maurice’s national seminar programme.

First Prize winners in national competition - July 2004

We have won first prize in a national competition organised by wallcovering distributors S. J. Dixon & Son Ltd. The competition was open to specialist wallcovering retailers throughout the country who competed in a series of seven regional heats.

The creative use of carefully selected materials and props that included attractive floral decorations, glassware, candles and even a colour coordinated chemise hanging on the wall, swayed the judges decision in awarding first prize to thedecoratingcentre.com.

Alison was presented with a framed certificate commemorating her success by Dixons Retail Sales Manager, Patrick Greatrix (left) and Area Sales Representative, Graham Blaylock.

A highly creative display featuring wallcoverings, borders and fabrics from the Alfric Interiors ‘Gardens’ collection clinched the first prize.

Concept For Living Magazine Article - September 2001

	Reader's Home Mark Baker travels the North of England for the well-known shower manufacturer, Mira. The job takes him to many show homes.

Not surprisingly, this daily contact has provided Mark with plenty of ideas, inspiring him to update his small, two bedroom-terraced home on the quite outskirts of Wetherby, Yorkshire.

Right: The mediterranean villa style appeals to Mark
	Left: The walls of his upstairs study are finished in a new range of aluminium fleck paint known as Ilumitex (see our products section)

By complete contrast the walls of the office and bathroom are finished in an eccentric, unusual and enjoyably extravagant textured, metallic paint effect.

The specialist finish known as Ilumatex (see our products section) features a grey base-coat which is then finished in a range of coloured, aluminium particles giving a striking, speckled effect.

The new "Magic eye" is here!

This handy gadget allows us to scan just about anything, ie fabric, tiles, wallpaper etc. in order for us to produce a paint colour exactly matching the scanned item.

So now there's no need to settle for a paint colour that nearly matches, you can have exactly the colour you want.

Best of all, this service is completely FREE!

This equipment is not widely available and if you would like to take advantage of our service, send us items you want matching and we`ll mix the colour for you and post it all back! (subject to post and packaging charge)

(Please note....apparently there are some limitations in producing colours on difficult surfaces eg. carpets, so the manufacturers cannot 100% guarantee every colour.....however we have used this equipment extensively, and have yet to find something we can`t match.)
