Marble Matt Emulsion: Discover Our Signature Paint Finish

Mylands Marble Matt Emulsion is a deeply pigmented, breathable and sustainable paint trusted by museums, galleries, historic houses and interior designers. Made with crushed Carrara marble, our signature paint adds real depth of colour to your projects.

When it comes to exceptional interior finishes, Mylands' Marble Matt Emulsion stands in a class of its own. More than just a beautiful wall paint, it's the product of over 140 years of British paintmaking heritage and exceptional craftsmanship, a deeply pigmented, ultra-durable finish that combines elegance, functionality and sustainability. At its heart is an extraordinary ingredient: crushed Carrara marble.

Crafted with Carrara marble, naturally strong, visibly beautiful

One of Marble Matt's defining features is its crushed Carrara marble, a by-product of the Italian marble industry. This fine mineral powder doesn't just give the paint its name; it gives the finish superior surface resilience and a beautifully subtle, natural texture that sets it apart from ordinary emulsions. The refined marble content also enhances light reflection within the pigment, creating incredible colour depth and richness that changes subtly through the day, for a finish that's visually elegant, tactile and remarkably long-lasting.

Unrivalled depth of colour

What sets Marble Matt apart is its extraordinarily high pigment content, in fact more pigment than any other paint on the market, resulting in richer, deeper, more complex colours that shift subtly with the light, adding character and atmosphere to every space. From bold modern hues to soft heritage tones, every colour in the range offers exceptional coverage and a sophisticated, velvety flat finish that designers and homeowners love, and combined with the natural qualities of marble, this gives Marble Matt a signature look, with colour that feels alive, nuanced and timeless.

Superior scrubbability

Marble Matt Emulsion is highly regarded not only for its luxurious, velvety finish but also for its impressive scrubbability. Despite its ultra-matt, chalky look, it's formulated to be exceptionally scrubbable, so you can clean marks and stains with a damp cloth or sponge without dulling the finish or leaving visible patches. Unlike many traditional matte paints, which can be delicate and prone to marking, Marble Matt combines luxurious aesthetics with long-lasting durability, a smart, stylish choice for walls that need to look good and stay clean over time.

With excellent scrubbability, it stands up well to frequent cleaning, ideal for high-traffic areas like hallways, kitchens and children's rooms, and it's used by museums and art institutions such as Dulwich Picture Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery, being well suited to heavily frequented areas. Despite its matte appearance, which typically shows marks more easily, it resists scuffs and stains without compromising its rich depth of colour, and it's remarkably easy to retouch, blending seamlessly without flashing or patchiness so touch-ups stay invisible over time, making it both practical and beautiful for everyday living.

Breathable, durable and ideal for period properties and historic buildings

Formulated to be highly breathable, Marble Matt lets moisture escape from surfaces, a key requirement for older and heritage buildings where walls need to 'breathe', helping to protect against damp and preserve the structural health of interiors over time, an ideal solution for both heritage restorations and contemporary renovations where structural health and air quality matter. Its durability and scrubbability make it ideal for busy homes and public spaces, while its seamless retouchability makes it a favourite in museums, galleries and heritage properties.

A truly sustainable choice

Sustainability runs deep in the formula. By incorporating recycled marble from the Carrara stone industry, Mylands reduces waste while enhancing the paint's performance, and its long lifespan, low VOC content and sustainable manufacturing make it ideal for those seeking beauty with responsibility. Because it lasts longer and withstands wear and tear, it contributes to a lower environmental impact over the life of a building, an often-overlooked but vital aspect of truly sustainable design.

Effortless to apply, exceptional to live with

Marble Matt is easy to apply by brush, roller or spray, going on smoothly, drying evenly and offering full coverage in two coats thanks to its high pigment load. With its virtually odour-free, child-safe, low-VOC formula, it suits any room in the home or a public space, and it's favoured by professional decorators for its high coverage, two-coat convenience and quick drying, allowing recoating after two hours.
