Albany Paints
Albany Paints provide a wide range of finishes and preparations for both Trade and DIY applications. The Albany Paint and Wallpaper range is exclusive to Brewers Decorator Centres who are on hand to give the very best in free advice when using Albany.
The Albany brand has recently celebrated it’s one hundredth year, being at the forefront of paint evolution providing high quality and great value. Albany has always stood for quality from the day that Clement Brewer chose the name, having seen the Albany Mansions in Piccadilly where the interior decoration was said to be of the highest standard. Today, Albany has a comprehensive choice of finishes with thousands of colours available and a full range of primers and undercoats, all manufactured to superior trade grade quality. Alongside paint, Albany offers the full package with a wide choice of wallpapers, brushes, rollers, and decorating accessories.
The Albany Paint Range:
AF1 is a water-based coating for interior ceilings that contains matting agents to help hide imperfections and brush or roller marks, giving ceilings a consistent, flawless appearance. The non-reflective properties of Albany AF1 Ceiling Paint also hides flashing by creating a super flat matt finish with no sheen whatsoever!
Albany Floor Paint is available in solvent-based and water-based finishes, providing a durable finish for concrete floors. The single pack floor coating is easy to use and offers superior performance.
Albany has also developed three woodcare finishes to protect interior and exterior timber. Albany Original is a translucent all-purpose wood stain that can be used on interior and exterior timber for long lasting protection in a matt finish. Albany Advanced is a translucent, durable wood stain that can be used on interior and exterior timber, offering superior UV protection in a satin finish. When used as a system, both finishes provide ultimate weather resistance and durability. Albany Masterdec is an opaque wood stain that can be used on exterior timber, providing a self-priming, fast-drying, and flexible finish. Available in a range of colours that will completely obliterate the original colour of the wood.
Albany has a wide range of Primers, Undercoats and Primer Undercoat suitable for a variety of internal and external surface preparation. For more advice on the use of these products, please head to Brewers.co.uk or head into your local Brewers Decorator Centre.

Albany Colour Crush: Cherry Reds from Brewers
Red has seen a rise in popularity in recent years thanks to its versatility and ability to evoke powerful emotion and is a colour that is here to stay in the world of interiors!
2025 has seen a rise in popularity for one shade of red in particular – cherry! Here we show you how to get the look with Albany paints.
The Colour Psychology of Red:
Red has the longest visual wavelength of any colour, perfect for making a real impact within a space. It is seen as the colour of love, energy and indulgence, perfect for busier spaces such as living rooms and kitchens. Cherry reds are rich, vibrant shades of red with a broad range of pink and violet undertones, perfect for providing a playful twist in your scheme.
The Unexpected Red Theory:
Last year, the ‘Unexpected Red Theory’ went viral, where people took to social media to share their surprise for red seemingly working with everything! They argued that red works with any colour palette…some were even calling for red to become the new neutral! This isn’t news to the world of design, as interior designers and stylists have been using red as a part of schemes for decades.
How To Use Red in Your Space:
Red can be used in a modern setting as well as more traditional spaces, either as the dominant colour or as an accent colour. To create a balanced scheme, combine with cool colours for a complementary look. Pairing with blues and greens can create a fun and energising space!
Reds also work beautifully with a neutral palette, so for clients that are hesitant with colour, start small, adding a sophisticated red to the space can really elevate the whole look. A pop of red in the colour scheme can easily be added by painting furniture or highlighting an architectural detail.
Alternatively, for a bold approach, colour drenching the whole space with a chosen shade or double drenching with a few variations of red would make a dramatic impact.
