Fenwick & Tilbrook: Celebrating 10 Years of Timeless Colour

Independent, family-run British paint brand Fenwick & Tilbrook was founded with a passion for creating high quality, low VOC paints designed to elevate any space, indoors or out.

After recognising a gap in the market for a premium paint brand that combined exceptional performance loved by trade with the depth of colour and quality finish sought after by senior designers and discerning homeowners, founders Simon and Clare Tilbrook set out to bring that vision to life.

Almost a decade on, the family-run business will be celebrating its 10 year anniversary in  June 2026, and to commemorate this milestone, they are introducing 10 new colours to its expertly curated palette of timeless shades.

We speak to Anna Hill, Brand Director and Colour Consultant, to find out more about the new colours they are introducing.

“Our 10th anniversary feels like the perfect time to update our colour card, introducing 10 new shades that reflect who we are and where we’re from,” says Anna. “Each colour is rooted in the Norfolk coast and Suffolk countryside, the landscapes that have shaped our identity from day one.

From the timeworn softness of Shingle Street and the silvery calm of Salt Fog, to the quiet elegance of Harbour Light, these shades bring a real sense of place with them.

They’re colours that don’t shout for attention, but sit comfortably in a space, offering a timeless, lived-in feel. Even the more characterful additions, like Deceiver and Pipistrelle, have a gentle, heritage-inspired depth: the kind of tones our customers choose knowing they’ll love them for years to come.”

“As we celebrate a decade as an independently owned and family-run business, it felt important to offer our customers even more enduring choices. Earthy notes like the burnt ochre warmth of Shelduck, the grounded taupes of Marshland Muddle and the richer natural feel of Rewilding, we feel, all speak to that need for comfort and authenticity in our homes.

Introducing these 10 new shades isn’t just about expanding our range, it’s about giving people access to colours that will feel just as right in ten years’ time as they do today – true, timeless companions to everyday life.”

ABOUT FENWICK & TILBROOK

Fenwick & Tilbrook was founded in 2016 by Simon and Clare Tilbrook who set out to revive the manufacture for a paint brand that ceased trading. By 2018, the brand had evolved into a passion project focused on creating premium, high-quality paints.

Now, with Anna Hill (Clare’s daughter) at the helm of the family business as Brand Director and Colour Consultant, their collection of over 150 pigment-rich colours combines beauty with durability – most notably in the Pure Matt Plus finish which offers a low 3% sheen, class 1 scrub rating and less than 0.3% VOCs.

With six finishes ranging from scrubbable emulsions to breathable clay paints for lime plaster, along with curated colour cards and A5 samples painted in Pure Matt Plus, Fenwick & Tilbrook prides itself on expert advice and excellent customer service.

Inspired by the British countryside, coast and wildlife, the brand’s colours reflect the natural beauty of its home in Attlebridge, Norfolk – where every tin of paint is made-to-order in their family workshop.
