This guide is for homeowners and decorators seeking a classic, high-quality paint finish for interior walls and ceilings. The Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion in Skimming Stone offers a beautiful, chalky matte finish that effectively conceals minor surface imperfections and creates a rich, deep colour experience. A key consideration is its suitability for low-traffic areas due to its softer finish. This water-based paint boasts low VOCs and minimal odour, making it an environmentally conscious and pleasant choice for your living spaces.

Estate Emulsion has a chalkier, more traditional matte finish, ideal for low-traffic areas. Modern Emulsion is a more durable, washable finish suitable for higher-traffic areas and kitchens/bathrooms.
Estate Emulsion is not recommended for bathrooms due to its lower washability and resistance to moisture. Farrow & Ball Modern Emulsion or Estate Eggshell would be more suitable for bathrooms.
A 2.5L tin of Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion typically covers approximately 25 square meters (270 square feet) per coat, depending on the surface texture and absorbency.
Estate Emulsion is typically touch dry within 2-3 hours and ready for a second coat after 4 hours, though this can vary with humidity and temperature.
Skimming Stone is often described as a warm grey, with subtle beige undertones that prevent it from feeling cold.
For light marks, use a soft cloth dampened with water. Avoid harsh detergents or scrubbing, as this can damage the delicate matte finish.
Yes, but the surface must be thoroughly prepared. Ensure the oil-based paint is sound, clean, and lightly sanded. Apply a suitable Farrow & Ball primer designed for such surfaces before applying the Estate Emulsion.
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred and applied evenly. Check for adequate lighting during application. Apply a second coat if necessary, ensuring the first coat is dry.
Use a high-quality brush and maintain a consistent direction of brush strokes. Avoid over-brushing. Ensure the paint is not too thin or too thick; thin with minimal water if absolutely necessary.
Verify the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, dust-free). Ensure the correct Farrow & Ball primer was used for the surface type and previous finish.
Colour appearance can vary significantly with light. Test a small area or use Farrow & Ball's colour swatches to see how 'Skimming Stone' looks in your specific lighting conditions before committing to the entire room.
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For previously painted surfaces, use a suitable primer or mist coat if necessary, especially when transitioning between vastly different colours.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats. Avoid painting in excessively humid or cold conditions. Use in conjunction with Farrow & Ball primers for optimal colour consistency and adhesion.
Compatibility: This paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is water-based and low VOC.
Care: To maintain the finish, clean gently. Use a soft, damp cloth for light marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this can damage the matte surface.
