Our Paint Finishes
We believe in responsible production and accountability and are transparent with the materials and processes we use today.
And we are always questioning and seeking – asking how we can continue to make it better in the future. This approach has resulted in our bio-based True Matt Emulsion and Steadfast Matt Emulsion, which are better for people and their homes.
We hope you find inspiration here to help you make your home perfect for the way you want to live. And we’d love to be part of your story, not just today, but for many years to come.
Hello London
Welcome to our new studio and factory in Bermondsey.
From our journal
English plums, a little sugar and lemon juice
A simple and local recipe that is so very delicious and valuable. Ingredients and where they come from are at the root of why and how we make our paint. a generous use of a humble and lightly travelled group of ingredients, using hands and humans for other humans’ health.
I believe if we nourish ourselves at home, then life can only be better. We use a bio-based binder, rather than the usual acrylic or vinyl. It is made from simple, raw ingredients including sugar, bio ethanol and vegetable oil produced from waste crops. Our dolomite and calcium carbonate filler comes from Cornwall and the remainder of our ingredients are bio-based and natural. We have one preservative - because it is necessary, but it is the cleanest and smallest amount we can use.

Atelier Ellis x The Hepworth Wakefield
Molten chocolate, full-fat milk, grass that is greener, the visceral pink of bone marrow and the quiet, deep of the night. Colours for everyone, in art and at home.
Introducing a creative partnership with The Hepworth Wakefield for the Spring/Summer 2025 exhibition season.
A collection of seven bespoke colours for the exhibitions of Helen Chadwick and Caroline Walker, which will be on view at The Hepworth Wakefield until the 27 October 2025.
Working closely with the exhibition curators, the colours have each been specially created to respond to the artists’ work. Chadwick’s practice embraces the sensuous aspects of the natural world and often incorporates unexpected mediums, such as chocolate, flowers, snow and milk, while Caroline Walker’s intimate paintings offer a lens into the everyday lives of women.
The palette has been meticulously crafted to enhance the viewing experience of the exhibitions, in quiet support of the curatorial expertise
These colours are available to order in all Atelier Ellis finishes and 10% of proceeds are going to support the gallery.
