History - About Paint & Paper Library
Paint & Paper Library was founded over twenty years ago in London by interior designer David Oliver. Providing inspiration, colour expertise and design ideas for interior decorators, architects and specifiers worldwide, we offer a distinguished palette of 180 unique colours. Our paint is manufactured to exceptionally high standards in the UK and has been officially accredited by RIBA, the Royal Institute of British Architects.
Found in some of the most prestigious properties around the world, Paint & Paper Library paints are credited with creating an unrivalled balance of colour, mood and light in contemporary interiors. Our carefully considered pallette comprises 'Architectural Colours' a proven range of stepped shades specifically designed to bring subtle depth to neutral schemes and 'Original Colours' inspired by historical, traditional and contemporary interiors.
Available in five finishes for both interior and exterior use, we have formulated our paints to the highest possible standard.
Complementing the curated paint palette are two wallpaper collections, compiled by our team of colourists.
Encompassing a mixture of traditional and digital printing techniques, Tresco and Botany include unique, striking designs printed in a multitude of colourways taken from the existing Paint & Paper Library colour palette.
All Paint & Paper Library paints and wallpapers are manufactured in the UK using the highest quality, eco-friendly ingredients.
With a fully-water based range of finishes, Paint & Paper Library paints are low VOC and have been formulated with sustainability in mind, enabling you to make positive design choices which consider the environment.
