Little Greene offers a comprehensive range of exterior paints, designed to withstand the elements while providing a beautiful finish and rich colour depth.

Whether you’re refreshing woodwork, metalwork, brickwork, stone, or render, Little Greene has you covered with a variety of finishes to suit your needs.
Transform Your Exterior with Little Greene’s Weatherproof Products
Little Greene’s exterior paint ‘family’ comprises six weatherproof products, each tailored to specific surfaces and application methods. From gloss and eggshell paints for woodwork and metalwork to traditional Limewash and Masonry Paint for brickwork, stone, and render, there’s a solution for every exterior surface.
These paints, available in both oil-based and water-based systems, ensure longevity and protection for your home’s exterior.
In recent years, there has been a notable shift in how exteriors are decorated. Rather than treating outdoor spaces separately, homeowners are extending their interior design schemes to the outdoors.
Ruth Mottershead, Creative Director at Little Greene, observes, “We are seeing interior design schemes and the use of colour being taken outside, often forming a transitional dining or living area bursting with personality.”
By incorporating colour and design elements, outdoor spaces are transformed into vibrant extensions of the home, seamlessly blending with gardens or exterior settings.
Trending Colours for Exterior Decorating
Exterior decorating trends mirror those seen in interiors, with a focus on rich, warm tones and earthy natural colours. Sunny yellows evoke year-round joy, while coastal blues and greens offer a traditional yet refreshing aesthetic.
These colours, alongside brown-based tones, create inviting outdoor environments that reflect personal style and enhance curb appeal. Beyond practicality, exterior decorating presents an opportunity to infuse outdoor spaces with design personality.
Mottershead highlights, “Decorating your exterior is also the perfect opportunity to add design personality to your outdoor space.” Simple updates, such as painting a single wall or refreshing wooden furniture, can instantly elevate outdoor living areas, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living.
