Dulux Heritage

When it comes to painting and decorating, choosing a colour is only half the job. You need a finish that applies easily, handles everyday wear and tear and matches the colour you had in your mind. Our Dulux Heritage range combines classic colours with professional-quality paints, including options for interior finishes for walls, ceilings, woodwork and metal. Try our range of Dulux Heritage paint to find the perfect shade and finish for your next decorating project.

Why Choose Dulux Heritage Paint?

The Dulux Heritage paint range is made for decorators and homeowners who want rich colours and a refined finish. The palette includes deep tones, pale shades and versatile whites that suit period properties just as well as modern interiors.

Dulux Heritage also makes it simple to build your own colour scheme. Consider pairing a soft neutral on the walls with a deeper green or blue on cabinetry, doors or a feature area for dramatic effect, or blend classic colours to create a truly heritage aesthetic. If you're interested in Dulux's timeless style but aren't quite sure which paint is right for you, our Dulux Heritage Colour Chart is a great place to start.

Which Dulux Heritage Paint Finish Do I Need?

Dulux Heritage Velvet Matt for Walls and Ceilings

Velvet Matt is a washable, water-based emulsion with a soft matt appearance. It suits interior walls and ceilings where you want depth of colour with very little shine. Apply it with a good-quality short-pile microfibre roller on smooth walls, then use a suitable brush for cutting in.

Dulux Heritage Eggshell for Wood and Metal

Eggshell can sometimes be the better choice for interior doors, skirting boards, architraves, radiators and other prepared wood or metal surfaces. Its low-sheen finish works well alongside Velvet Matt, helping you carry one colour scheme across walls and trim while giving each surface a suitable finish.

How Can You Get the Best Finish from Heritage Paint?

Good preparation makes a visible difference:

  • Make sure the surface is clean, dry and sound
  • Repair any cracks, dents or loose material
  • Stir the paint thoroughly before use
  • Test your colour in different parts of the room
  • Follow the listed instructions for drying and recoating

Choose the right paint brushes for cutting in and trim and paint rollers for walls and ceilings. A suitable paint kettle, scuttle or tray helps you work cleanly, while decorator’s masking tape can protect edges and fittings.

How Do You Choose a Dulux Heritage Colour?

Start with the light in the room. North-facing rooms can make cool colours look more muted, while strong daylight may brighten paler shades. Then consider the flooring, tiles, worktops and furniture you plan to keep.

Test shortlisted colours on the wall and check them in the morning, afternoon and evening. You can also view the official Dulux Heritage colour collection for the wider palette and colour groupings.
