Our story begins in 1884 when ‘Honest’ John Myland set up his modest shop in the heart of Lambeth. Unlike some other paintmakers of the day, John was absolutely in thrall to the art of the colourman, insisting on only the very best materials that would allow him to create colours that were lustrous and flawless, with guaranteed quality. Originally supplying to trade only, Mylands has been a best kept secret amongst interior design professionals and scenic artists for over 130 years. Our long standing association with the film, television and theatre industry has seen our paints featured in some of the world’s most successful productions. In 1985, Mylands was awarded a coveted Royal Warrant – the ultimates seal of approval. Today, Mylands’ paints are available direct to the customer in a comprehensive range of interior and exterior paint finishes for all their decorating needs.
