Colour Centre

When the sun comes out, it’s time for spring cleaning, right? — Well, we didn’t really engage as much in spring-​cleaning as in spring-​decorating. Having decided not to join the hordes of people leaving London for the May Bank Holiday Weekend, we stayed put in town and did some proper home improvement work.
We decided to paint both our bedroom and the guest bedroom and we came to the Colour Centre near Caledonian Road, because they carried the paint brand that we had set our minds at: Mylands of London. This paint is a traditional London-​based paint manufacturer and the special thing about their paint is that they add ground marble to their paint, which gives it a little something extra; a velvety look! (All their paints are named after London landmarks or streets and we picked the one with the name Ludgate Circus.)
The owner of the Colour Centre was a really nice and knowledgeable chap. I liked that he carried all the high-​end equipment, but when he consulted us, he also pointed out the medium or lower range articles.
It’s not a big place, but they have a huge storage space in the back.
