HMG Paints develops exclusive colours for Manchester show home
HMG Paints supplied a full range of interior coatings for the Collyhurst Village show home in Manchester, working collaboratively with FEC UK and Project Furniture Residential. Drawing inspiration from its Manchester Collection, HMG developed bespoke colour palettes for the project.
Emmie Tomlinson from Project Furniture Residential said: “The interior design of the Collyhurst Village show home draws inspiration from the area’s natural landscape, industrial heritage and evolving community identity. The concept, described as Modern Luxe with Elevated Elegance, balances sophistication with warmth through refined finishes and organic tones.”
A key product used throughout the show home was HMG’s Vinyl Matt Emulsion, a premium water-based interior coating known for its exceptional coverage, smooth flat finish and long-lasting durability. Manufactured at HMG Paints Manchester, the Vinyl Matt Emulsion provided the perfect foundation for achieving the show home’s refined, contemporary aesthetic. Its ease of application and consistent finish ensured a seamless decorating process for the design and installation teams.
To support the bespoke schemes created for this project, each batch of Vinyl Matt Emulsion was tinted to order, allowing for precise colour matching across all interior spaces. The product is also supplied in sustainable packaging, aligning with the broader regeneration project’s focus on responsible.
For Collyhurst Village, HMG developed exclusive colours and utilised tones from its Essentials Colour Range, a curated selection featured within the Manchester Collection Shade Card. With 35 carefully crafted hues, from archival classics to modern, trend-led tones – this range showcases over 95 years of HMG’s colour expertise.
Several key shades were selected for the show home. Angel Meadow was used as a lounge accent wall, paired with a warm off-white inspired by HMG’s original Mancnolia. This combination brings a soft, inviting atmosphere while offering depth and contrast.
“The greens, rusts and earthy neutrals reflect Collyhurst’s history as pastureland and its connection to Red Bank Sandstone, while also symbolising growth and renewal within the developing Victoria North area,” said Emmie.
In the bedrooms, the colour story evolves to suit individual personalities while maintaining a cohesive feel. The second bedroom introduces a bolder palette, combining a dark teal velvet bed with a vivid blue feature wall designed for a teenager with a dynamic style. Newton Blue was applied to complement a neon focal point, resulting in a vibrant, modern space that mirrors the forward-thinking development of Collyhurst Village.
HMG also created a brand-new shade exclusively for this project. Grove – a rich, earthy green with warm undertones which brings balance and calm to the interior, enhancing the home’s modern yet tranquil atmosphere. The decorator’s creative use of this shade further elevated the space, adding depth and natural harmony.
For those inspired by the colours featured in Collyhurst Village, the Manchester Collection and Essentials Shade Card are available to explore and order directly from the HMG Paints Shop (Colour Tools – shop.hmgpaint.com).
