About us

About us

Our family run business, in Church Street, Colne was opened by self employed painter and decorator Allen and his wife Dorothy in 1979. With his decorating experience and the decorating trade he was building up, Allen was always available to our customers to offer any advice, hints and tips.
Allen was also a popular sportsman in his home town. He played Cricket for Colne and was a goalkeeper for Colne Dynamoes, as well as being well known in the darts field.
Following his death at 55, Dorothy continued to run the business and today offers a vast range of affordable wallpapers, paints and tools for home decorating.

Our paint and wallpaper shop supplies everything you need to give your home a whole new look.
We stock a large range of quality paints, decorative products and wallpapers from leading brands at competitive prices to suit every pocket. 
Our friendly staff also provide helpful tips and advise to ensure customers have the right product to enhance their home.
 
We have over 200 traditional and contemporary patterns of wallpaper in stock and for the customer that requires something a little different, we also have a large pattern book library with 1000's of wallcoverings to choose from.
