Exterior Paints, Durable Finishes

At Little Greene, our range of exterior paints allow you to transform your outdoor space with colour. Available in our complete colour palette, these long-lasting, hard-wearing exterior paints combine the highest technical performance with a beautiful finish and profound depth of colour.

“Decorating your exterior is not only a practical way of weatherproofing your home, but it’s also the perfect opportunity to add design personality to your outdoor space. Even a simple update such as refreshing existing garden furniture or painting a wall can add instant impact and extend your living area outdoors.” – Ruth Mottershead, Creative Director

Our exterior paints provide the perfect tools to elevate your outdoor space this spring. Create a scheme that flows by designing colourful, functional spaces that extend your living area outdoors.

Our Creative Director, Ruth, says: “From homeworking to outdoor dining, our gardens have become multi-purpose. As well as providing relaxing areas in which to enjoy nature and gardening, we are seeing the creation of outdoor living and dining rooms, zones that truly reflect an interior design scheme, with soft furnishings, mirrors, outdoor rugs and the embracing of colour on walls and outdoor furniture.

“Whether you are painting a large expanse of wall to provide a backdrop to al fresco dining or simply refreshing pot plants for a small balcony, you can completely coordinate outdoor elements to create a cohesive scheme that flows throughout your home.”
