When we first moved into our house (as tenants) we painted the whole house magnolia (it was cheap, and the easiest option). We bought Wickes Trade (15ltr Magnolia for the walls and 10ltr White for the ceilings) and those worked brilliantly, most the walls were a dark coffee colour before painting, and from memory only needed one coat. Made such a difference to the light! Prices have shot up since, but I would probably still opt for it now if we were in the same position again.

Other than that, I'd probably try Screwfix they have Leyland Contract Matt Magnolia 10ltr for £15.49 at the moment. I've used their gloss paint in the past and its been pretty good too.

Wickes own range and even trade range have never let me down either, but on another diy forum wickes stuff is getting a slating for recent quality, largely lumpy/gritty paint????, hence this post
