Competition | Win a Craft Bundle of Paints and Brushes worth over £125

Iona Bower April 19, 2023

Paint specialist Guild Lane is offering three lucky winners the chance to get creative
with colour

Colour has the power to stir emotions, evoke memories, and create personal stories. So The Simple Things has teamed up with Guild Lane to offer three lucky readers the chance to win a hamper packed full of its most popular Jubilee and GILD paints, plus a selection of brushes, all worth over £125.

The Jubilee range of paints are a celebration of British history and culture, expressed in colour. A carefully curated palette of lively heritage hues, the line has its origins in the pioneering British Standard colours of the 1930s, and the water-based paint can be used on a multitude of surfaces without the need for priming or sealing. Suitable for indoor and outdoor projects, it provides excellent coverage and is certified safe for children’s furniture and toys.

Meanwhile, the GILD metallic range is an innovative enamel paint that’s a wonderful alternative to traditional gilding. With excellent coverage, it provides a rich lustrous finish, making it easy to add shine to any project. Available in a variety of acrylic colours, including gold, rose gold, silver, bronze, champagne, copper, and a stunning oil-based chrome.

Based in Kent, Guild Lane has been supplying the hobby, craft, and DIY markets for over 45 years, and continues to strive towards providing crafters, makers and artisans with the highest quality materials and tools. So, whether you’re upcycling a pre-loved item of furniture, tackling DIY projects, or you just want to add a splash of colour to your life, Guild Lane’s selection of paints have you covered.

For more information, visit guildlane.com or follow on Instagram: @guildlane.

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
