Issues

Decorating Matters is published four times a year – spring, summer, autumn and winter. Members of the Scottish Decorators’ Federation get a printed copy delivered to them. Plus you can pick one up at branches of The Paint Shed, Johnstone’s Decorating Centres, Dulux Decorator Centres, Crown Decorating Centres and some independent paint stores. Here are the back issues so far.

Current issue: Summer 2025

It’s time for our Awards Special – meet the winners of the SDF Annual Painting & Decorating Awards in this issue. Take advantage of the good weather and get some garden work done. It’s not all sheds, fences and decking though – don’t forget the furniture. The experts at Polyvine give us the low down on keeping on top of things. We also discover a secondary school in Fife where the pupils are being prepared for apprenticeships in all areas of the construction industry.
