House of Hackney Paint

Historic company S.G. Bailey Paints Ltd started making paint in Stroud, Gloucestershire in 1896. Now, at the helm since 1989, Richard Townsend has become an expert at creating bespoke paints.

A part of the business since he was a teen working summer jobs, making things is Richard’s calling; creating colours from scratch, from pigment to paint still excites him 35 years on.  House of Hackney have worked closely with him to deliver their nature-inspired paint collection bringing beauty and creativity to the home while reflecting the principles of sustainability that makes House of Hackney a B corp brand.
