This new range could be perfect for shoppers looking to spruce up their homes for summer
When it comes to giving the home a new lease of life, a lick of paint can work wonders. Whether it’s painting the kitchen cupboards, adding a splash of colour to skirting boards, or creating a feature wall in the living room, the right paint can really bring a space to life.
Finding the right paint shades for the space can be a hassle – there are so many options out there, and it can feel daunting to commit based on a single swatch. However, a new line of paints from luxury eco-friendly brand COAT Paints, in collaboration with TV personality and wellness advocate Millie Mackintosh, could be the ticket.
The range includes a selection of shades for all corners of the home, from bedrooms to bathrooms, kitchens to hallways. Speaking of the range she’s worked on, the former Made in Chelsea star, 35, says: “Creating a mindful home environment has been essential to me, especially as I’ve navigated motherhood and my personal wellness journey.

“Every colour in this collection is a reflection of that – whether it’s the calming tones of ‘Balance’ or the warm embrace of ‘Gratitude.’ I wanted this palette to encourage people to slow down, reflect, and create spaces that feel comforting and rejuvenating.”
The COAT x Millie Mackintosh range includes six colours. There’s Presence, a Blush Plaster Pink; Poise, a Pale Blush Pink; Centred, an Earthy Pale Beige; Renew, a Teal Blue; Manifest, a Soft Fresh Green; and Nourish, a soothing, muted sage green.
All of the shades come in six finishes, too – Flat Matt, Soft Sheen, Interior Eggshell, Exterior Eggshell, Claypaint, and Floor Paint – so there’s a formula for every surface.
Depending on how much paint is needed, the collection is available at a range of price points: from £30 for 1L, £56 for 2.5L, or £96 for 5L. Plus, it’s easy to try before you buy, with peel-and-stick samples available in each shade which are fully recyclable and 100% accurate to the real paint colour.
If this range doesn’t quite resonate with shoppers, they could try Farrow & Ball’s new spring range, which includes shades like deep red, mustard yellow, olive green and duck-egg blue, with prices hovering around £33 for 750ml to £128 for 5L.
Alternatively, House of Hackney has a wide range of made-to-order, water based, low VOC, low odour paints throughout the colour spectrum, with prices around £59 for 2.5L or £100 for 5L.
The paints from COAT – a B Corp Certified company – which are water-based, low V.O.C, premium paints formulated to be amongst the highest-quality on the market, have proven to be a favourite among shoppers.
The range currently has perfect reviews. One shopper said: “Just had our hallway and landing painted in Coat paint whilst away and all I can say is wow! Decorator not used Coat before but commented on excellent application. We have used Coat before ourselves and found it to be extremely easy to use and also the colours are amazing. Customer service is also second to none. We needed paint quickly and they upgraded to next day delivery.”
Another said: “Beautiful soft hues, with colours you can’t find anywhere else. I really enjoyed transforming my rooms with this paint, it has great coverage and is a real joy to use.”
Someone who tried the Poise shade said: “I love this colour! I really wanted a pink bedroom but not too little girly feel. Poise was the perfect shade for that, it’s so soft and subtle but at the same, so girly and a great pink. Did 2 layers and it’s so lush!”
A shopper who used the Renew shade noted: “The colour is a little different from what it looks like on the website – in my living room anyway – a bit more blue and less teal. It matches the sample sticker perfectly though, so I got what I was expecting.”
One person did have an issue with delivery: “Lovely paint colours, like the eco credentials. Good coverage and nice finish. Some issues with couriers lately, but customer service always very helpful and solve problems quickly.”
Another said they had concerns which turned out to be unfounded: “I was unsure how pink this would be, but it’s just perfect,” they said of Poise.
COAT’s collaboration with Millie Mackintosh is available on their website.
