Painting the Past has for over thirty years built a community around a shared love of quality paints and the transformation of interiors into places of beautiful creation. Inspiring and empowering those who want to use the objects they live with as ways of expressing their creativity, realising dream moments and making everyday life extraordinary. 

We believe that for interior creation to be a truly positive experience, it must be done with tools that also reflect this spirit of innovation, craftsmanship and responsibility to the environment and wellbeing. We pour as much effort into crafting a truly unique wood paint as we hope you will into creating the objects in your life around which you will build countless wonderful memories. 

We have formulated an innovative wood paint that prioritises ease-of-use at every stage. This goes from the prep and initial application all the way to after-care and how the paint endures over time. As a paint and primer in-one, The One for Wood requires less preparation before application and as little as two coats for an excellent finish.  

Because we use high-quality fillers and binders, The One for Wood is also far less porous than many other paints, making it incredibly durable and less likely to stain or discolour over time.  

Creating a great interior space means making one that’s safe to live in and respectful of the environment. Without compromising on quality, we have formulated an industry-leading wood paint that is entirely VOC-Free and made with bio-based and recycled materials. This is part of a larger ethos we work to embody as a company to make meaningful commitments towards a better, healthier environment for us to live in, even if it’s more difficult or complex to make a reality. 

We understand from decades of experience that our paint is only as great as what you, the creators, make with it. This is why in every aspect of what we do, we work to create an experience that is as inspiring and empowering as possible, making even more complex interior creation projects feel accessible and possible.  

When we say “Create Objects of Memory” what we mean is to create pieces whose value extends beyond the time and materials and is measured in the memories you will make around your pieces. Painting the Past stands for cherishing the past, celebrating the present and creating the future.
