Yes I used it in my hallway and landing.

It does brilliant it up but I found the previous paint finish it wasnt dark took 3 coats to not show through. I also sued it on kitchen wall again it was alight colore, magnolia and it needed two coats

thanks! my kitchen is currently magnolia and yellow so i was expecting to do 2/3 coats of paint.
So you think it made a difference/made the room lighter?

As it is 3 for 2 i will also get enough for my hallway and utility!:)

anyone else? as i have also heard its not so good

Definitely made it lighter but how much is difficult to tell. However it seems to not go very far as I said 3 coats in hallway and it was light colour like magnolia as you can see it through the new paint even with 2 coast so we used 3.

I hate dark rooms, we even painted a woodern ceiling in living room and going to do kitchen next but thats with different paint

We used it in our hallway - looks lovely, really "sunny". We did a good few undercoats of white emulsion so only needed 2 coats and got a really good finish.

i used a light blue in a bedroom and although it is ok i don't really think it is that special. maybe the room wasn't that dark to begin with.

saying that my dd also used it and in her house it lightens things up a lot.

I agree with you, I have used it a few times for clients, and I have renamed it... 'Waste of space' lol

Just to add to the voting. We've just done a north-facing bedroom in L&S and it does seem to light the dark landing much better than the other bedrooms.

I'd agree with the other comment about coverage though, it seems worse than other Dulux emulsions even with a coat of white underneath, and at nearly £20 a pot is expensive.

Hi

Have used it 2 or 3 times, & get it from my trade counter. Must say I can't see it making any difference where we used it. Coverage is exceptionally poor & price is exceptionally high.

Maybe this is one that 'doesn't do what it says on the tin'?

I also used a pale blue version (frost or something was the name of the colour) in my bedroom - but I totally love it - gorgeous colour, though not sure about it making the room seem more spacious thingy.

I fortunately had my bedroom and my step daughters room painted in this by the insurance peeps renovating after a leak... so it was free in the monitry sense of the word, and I love it!!! it is colour changing, it looks wonderful, luminous and different colours in different lights, it does make the rooms look bigger for sure!! :cool:

so if you manage to get a deal on it, then get it.. i have cotton breeze, which is silvery blue/ lilac... and lilac frost in the girls room, both very nice indeed...
