Collaborate with MylandsMylands in brief
A London house, six generations, one palette
Founded in Lambeth in 1884 and still in the hands of the Myland family, Mylands is London's last paint manufactory - and Britain's oldest still run by its founding family. Every tin is made in the West Norwood works, from natural earths and minerals and crushed Carrara marble.
Royal Warrant holder to the British Crown, partner to film studios since 1928, chosen by palaces, museums and fine houses, the house is now distributed in France and across Europe by mylands.fr, from a warehouse in Occitanie.

Founded in London in 1884 and run by six generations of the Myland family, Mylands is the last paint manufactory in the British capital. A Royal Warrant holder - granted in 1985 and renewed in 2025 - the house makes richly pigmented water-based paints in its West Norwood works, from natural earths and minerals and crushed Carrara marble. Partner to film studios since 1928, and to palaces and museums, Mylands is distributed in France and across Europe by mylands.fr, from a warehouse in Occitanie.

Stories to tell
A few angles to get started
Mylands is not short of stories. Here are six we can document, illustrate and put a face to - and we are always keen to hear yours.
01
The paint of the palaces
The only British maker of decorative paints and polishes to hold the Royal Warrant - granted by Elizabeth II in 1985, renewed by Charles III in 2025.
02
Made in London since 1884
Six generations, one works: the capital's last paint manufactory, between tradition and today's formulas.
03
The colour of cinema
Since 1928, set decorators for film and theatre have relied on Mylands - a dedicated division that feeds the paints in our homes.
04
The Colours of London
One hundred and twenty shades named after the streets, districts and stories of London: a palette that can be told neighbourhood by neighbourhood.
05
A responsible paint
Water-based, low in VOCs, Carrara marble reclaimed from the stone industry's offcuts, walls that breathe: sustainability as seen by a house that paints monuments.
06
From London to Occitanie
How a London manufactory settles in with the French: a warehouse in the south, advice in French, fast delivery across the country.

A few lines will do: the subject, what you need, and your deadline if you have one.
Content creators & influence
Let's collaborate
You share interiors, renovation, DIY or simply your home, and you love colour as much as we do? Mylands likes working with creators who show paint the way it is lived: a wall that changes a room, a shade that hesitates between morning and evening, a weekend project.
We have no ready-made grid: every collaboration takes shape with you, around your world and your project. Paint for a job, colour advice, co-created content, a first look at a collection - let's talk.
What we offer
Paint for your projects
Sample pots to choose, full tins to paint: we kit out your project from undercoat to finish, shipped from our French warehouse.
Dedicated colour advice
One person to help you pick your shades for the room, the light and your style - before, during and after the project.
A first look
New shades, collections, launches: the creators we work with see them before anyone else.
A code for your audience
Through our affiliate programme, a personal discount code for the people who follow you - and a commission on every order placed thanks to you.
What we look for
More than the size of an audience: a real affinity with colour and interiors, a personal eye and well-made content. Micro-creators welcome - the best collaborations often start with accounts of a human scale.
Every collaboration is disclosed as such in your content, in line with the applicable rules - it is our policy, and it protects your audience as much as us.

Your world, your audience, the idea you have in mind - even a sketch of one. We reply personally within two working days.
