Best Wood Paints for Dublin Homes
Choosing the right paint for wood makes all the difference. Some paints look great for a year, then peel or yellow. Others stay sharp and strong for years with very little effort. Below are the paints we trust and use most often in Dublin homes.
Top Wood Paints We Recommend
Colourtrend
Reliable, easy to get locally, and good value. Works well on woodwork, trims, and furniture. Tough matt and satin options hold up well in busy homes.
Dulux Heritage / Trade
Excellent flow and coverage. Easier to apply than some premium brands and holds up in high-traffic areas. A solid choice for doors, skirting, and cabinets.
Farrow & Ball
Beautiful colours and a rich matt finish. Needs more coats and careful prep, but when done right it gives a unique decorative look. Best for feature rooms.
Fired Earth
Hard-wearing, low odour, and available in gloss, satin or eggshell. Works well for woodwork in kitchens and living spaces.
Finishes That Work Best
Eggshell – soft sheen, hides small flaws, good for living areas.
Satinwood – durable, cleans easily, perfect for doors and trims.
Gloss – high shine, great on cabinets or where you want a strong finish.
Matt – for a modern flat look, but less durable than satin or gloss.
Our Local Picks in Dublin
Colourtrend – for most everyday woodwork jobs.
Dulux Heritage – when durability and flow are key.
Fleetwood – if you want the decorative edge.
Fired Earth – for hard-wearing areas, especially kitchens.
An Example in Practice
We recently refinished a set of old built-in wardrobes in Dublin 6.
Base: Colourtrend Ceramic Matt for strength.
Finish: Dulux Heritage Eggshell for smoothness.
The result: a clean, long-lasting surface that looks calm, not shiny and will hold for years.
