Product Information

Full details

Mylands Bedford Square 229 is a sophisticated sky blue paint designed for interior designers and homeowners who want to create a calm, authentic, and naturally bright space. This paint features subtle neutral grey undertones that prevent the blue from becoming too intense, resulting in a versatile and peaceful finish. While the dead matt aesthetic offers an elegant, high-end look, it is worth noting that lower sheen levels can sometimes be less forgiving when scrubbing away heavy stains compared to high-gloss alternatives.

FAQs

What kind of finish is 'dead matt'?

A dead matt finish is a very low-sheen paint that offers almost zero reflection, providing a flat, soft, and contemporary look.

Can this paint be used in a bathroom?

While this is a multi-surface paint, the dead matt finish is typically best suited for low-humidity interior rooms. Check the product label for specific moisture resistance ratings.

Does Bedford Square 229 look bright or dark?

It is a sky blue shade balanced with grey, making it naturally bright and peaceful rather than dark or overly intense.

What is the origin of this colour?

The colour was matched for authenticity to a documented wallpaper colour discovered in Bedford Square.

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, this is specifically formulated for interior spaces.

How do I clean walls painted with this finish?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh detergents to preserve the matte surface.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaking

Ensure you are maintaining a 'wet edge' while painting and avoid overworking the paint as it begins to dry.

Colour appears uneven or patchy

This is often caused by uneven surface porosity; apply a high-quality primer-sealer before your topcoats.

Paint is scuffing easily

Dead matt paints are more delicate; ensure the paint has fully cured for the recommended time before subjecting it to high-traffic contact.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated dead matt finish reduces light reflection
  • Balanced grey-blue tone complements various decor styles
  • Historically authentic shade based on archival findings
  • Easy to integrate into both modern and traditional interiors

Cons

  • Dead matt finishes are generally more sensitive to abrasive cleaning
  • Limited to interior use cases
  • Requires careful preparation of surfaces to ensure even absorption

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If painting over a dark colour, consider using a high-quality primer to ensure the blue tone displays correctly. Use high-quality brushes or rollers to avoid streaking, particularly with a matte finish which can be less forgiving of poor tool quality. For maintenance, keep the painted area away from excessive moisture and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. To clean, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth, avoiding aggressive scrubbing to maintain the integrity of the dead matt surface.
