The Penultimate Paint and Paper

Aristotle said, “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” So, when it comes to your home, the choice of paint and wallpaper is paramount to achieve an extraordinary outcome. That commitment to the highest quality and finest materials is at the foundation of the products Farrow & Ball offers today’s homeowners and design professionals. The British manufacturer of fine paints and bespoke wallcoverings is offered on the Cape through Premium Plywood + Specialties in Hyannis and at Marine Home Center on Nantucket. 

Michael Whitelaw, branch manager at Premium Plywood + Specialties says the quality of color, ease of use, and exceptional coverage found in the Farrow & Ball product lines, meets the criteria the distinguished supplier of home building products applies to each vendor they represent. “The products are truly exceptional. And we didn’t just take their word for it. When we renovated this space, our own employees used the Farrow & Ball paint on all of the walls. We are not professional paint contractors, and it came out beautifully,” Whitelaw confirms as he also notes that the project was successfully accomplished with only one coat of paint for exceptional coverage. A particularly invaluable service for customers found at both locations is their ability to mix the current palette of colors as well as any archived color as well.  

Unlike standard paint lines, the palette of colors in the Farrow & Ball line is restrained, yet comprehensive. Largely influenced by historic hues and tones, the manufacturing process involves incorporating richly pigmented colors that respond to light in ways other paint products just aren’t able to. In addition to the paint products, the company has made a name for themselves with their exquisite wallcoverings, which provide a subtle three-dimensional element since the brand’s rich paint is hand-applied to the papers, leaving a discernible tactile application. “Wallcoverings are definitely experiencing a resurgence,” Whitelaw notes. “And Farrow & Ball makes a very impressive appearance in that space.”
