A WOMAN has revealed her genius hack to get designer paint colours for much cheaper prices.
Charlie, who runs her own social media, coaching, content and consultancy business, took to her own account to share the nifty tip with viewers.
“Are you redecorating?” she first asked. “Here’s how you can save 70 percent off your Farrow & Ball paint.”
She went on to explain that she’d first answer one of the most popular questions she gets asked, which is: “Hi, what are the colours on your wall living room wall and media wall? Thanks xx”.
Charlie replied: “The chimney itself is Farrow and Ball Ammonite and the rear wall is Farrow and Ball Purbeck Stone.
“But these have been colour matched.”
She then shared exactly how she was able to get the designer paint colour for a much cheaper price.
“So you’ll see there that a 5 litre tub from Farrow and Ball is £100,” she said.
But, luckily, she’s found a little known website to help her get the same without breaking the bank.
TikTok user @overatcharlies explained: “I always use Decorating Centre Online, it’s really quick and easy.
“You just pop in the brand colour that you’d like it to be, whether it’s walls or woodwork and the finish that you’d like – I always go for the trade matt.
“And for a 5 litre tub it’s only £33.99, which is saving you over £66 for one tub of paint.”
In the caption, she added: “Massive DIY cost saving hack! The same colour for over £66 a tin cheaper! My go to for paint is always @DCOteam [Decorating Centre Online]”.
