Paints and Wallpapers

The perfect pairing for any curtain or blind is the perfect wall colour. At Sophie Sews we work with the amazing Little Greene which is an independent British paint manufacturer, producing high quality, socially and environmentally responsible paints and wallpapers.

With high pigment levels (over 40% more pigment than many ordinary paints), Little Greene paint is renowned for its depth of colour and multiple uses. Little Greene has partnerships with the National Trust and English Heritage and also supports their vital conservation work too!

At Sophie Sews we also offer a large variety of wallpapers from brands such as Clarke & Clarke to Romo. Pop by our Horsell shop to see all that we have in store; whether it’s a simple pastel floral design, or a bold Emma Shipley statement wall you’re after, we’re certain we can find your perfect wallpaper in no time at all.

Kitchen Cupboards

Little Greene’s ‘Intelligent Satinwood’ paint is the ideal finish for kitchen cabinets. The paint dries to a beautiful mid sheen, providing protection, longevity and a smooth satin feel to your kitchen doors and woodwork, without being ‘too glossy’. This means you don’t have to compromise on beauty or practicality and can choose your favourite Little Greene shade safe in the knowledge it can withstand the wear and tear of modern family life.

Exterior Walls

Little Greene’s Masonry Paint is available in almost all Little Greene colours. It can be used to achieve a long-lasting, matt finish on brick, stone or rendered walls. Water-based, Masonry Paint dries quickly to a pleasingly smooth finish and is highly dirt resistant with anti-fungal and anti-ageing properties ensuring it looks good for longer.

Highly regarded exterior paint from Little Greene.

Inspired by this transformation?

An excellent and very professional service, there was a very wide selection of fabrics to choose from and some very welcome advice offered when asked for. The fitting of the finished curtains was quick, clean and to a high standard the five stars is without reservation.

We used Sophie on our Victorian cottage refurbishment project. Our brief wasn’t simple – we wanted blinds made with vintage fabric, and we wanted existing curtains cut down and redesigned – but Sophie was brilliantly accommodating, understood exactly what we were trying to achieve, and delivered what we wanted within budget and well in time for us to move in. We were absolutely delighted!

The service was excellent and Charlotte was great at advising and helping us choose the perfect fabric for curtains for our Snug room. Once they were ready Kathryn was in touch straight away to arrange the fitting. The fitting team were amazing and did such a good job getting the curtains up in our bay window. We are thrilled with them! Thank you all very much. Helen & Damien Honey.
