Working with Dulux Heritage: 5 Dulux Select Decorators give their verdict

Working with Dulux Heritage means you can choose a timeless and luxurious colour, or a combination of shades, for your client’s home.

The 112 shades in the Heritage range are cleverly arranged into pale, mid, and deep tones – each with its own complementary white. It means you can be confident that you’re selecting the right colours for your client’s home. Plus you’ll be leaving them with a room that has an air of luxury and refinement.

Don’t just take our word for it…

Take a look at some of the work that 5 Dulux Select Decorators have achieved with Dulux Heritage paints and hear what they had to say about the new range.

“The customer chose the colours from the Heritage colour card. The colour for the ceiling and upper walls was Voile White and below the dado was Inca Orange. He (the customer) absolutely loved the end product and also stated he loved the finish the velvet Matt gave the walls.”

“Heritage is a product I would definitely recommend – a lovely creamy paint with great covering power. I expected to need 3 coats at least, but Heritage Velvet Matt gave a solid finish in 2 coats.”

“I love the Heritage Palette. It offers great combinations to add that touch of quality to any age of home.”

The customer chose Stone Green in both their hallway and living room. They also introduced the complementary Forest Grey, as part of a split wall effect, in the living room.

“The finish you can achieve with the Velvet Matt makes it a dream to use! It has great coverage and leaves a finish that is smooth to touch and wipeable, so as a tradesman it makes it easy to promote to customers as the product you are using offers everything you want from a matt emulsion”.

“Job satisfaction is huge being a painter and decorator when you transform rooms and achieve a finish that you and the customer is proud of.”

Dulux Select Decorator, Nicola Lewis

"My customers are loving the colour collection and the helpful colour combo suggestions which you can find on the Heritage website. The range is smooth to apply, has great opacity and leaves a luxury finish...like this Midnight Teal in Velvet Matt!"

Dulux Select Decorator, Carl Lesh

Carl used Indian White Velvet Matt on the walls, then Indian White Eggshell on the fireplace and all the woodwork.

“Both these finishes are my go-to recommendation for every job. The Velvet Matt and eggshell are in my opinion better than most other high end price brands and a fantastic choice of colours.”

Dulux Select Decorator Grand Winner 2020, Les Copestake

Les went with Beachcomb Grey (Velvet Matt) on the walls and Ravens Flight (Eggshell) on the hand rail.

“The Eggshell for me is the best water-based on the market. It flows really well and dries lovely and flat. It’s a lot cheaper than the online competitors as well. The Heritage Matt is my new go-to emulsion. It’s durable, has a great matt finish and you get better coverage with it compared to Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt or Diamond.”
