Porter's Paints Open New Auckland Showroom

This new purpose-built showroom situated in the up-and-coming designer precinct of New North Road, Kingsland, has been designed to showcase a variety of Porter’s stunning colours and finishes. This inspirational space is for designers, architects, painters and consumers to visit and bring their clients for one-on-one expert advice on all things Porter’s. Anoushka Haskell is the new full-time showroom manager.

The showroom offers designers the chance to experience the products for themselves. The rich colours and textures used in-situ and applied in large samples allow designers to touch and feel the surfaces when selecting the right product for their project.

Each handcrafted colour is painted onto large samples allowing designers to confidently choose the perfect colours to work with all the elements in a project. If a special colour design is needed, designers can come and talk to the team who can create one.

Anoushka Haskell has joined the Porters Paints business to manage the showroom. She has a background in colour and design.

Porter's products used in the design of the showroom include Distemper Prussian Green, Fresco Aquarelle with stucco wax, Palm Beach Black, Eggshell Acrylic Van Heisling and Palm Beach White.
