Decorating Matters – current issue and back 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, Crown Decorating Centres and some independent paint stores. Here are the back issues so far.

Current issue: Autumn 2026

Our autumn issue is out now with an in-depth feature on roller technology – an essential read for all decorators. We also have part one of a two-part feature on natural paint, with contributions from Little Greene, Earthborn and Keim. We also profile Working Rite, a standard-setting youth employment charity, as well as hearing from Michael McEwan, Lecturer at City of Glasgow College. Plus, there’s all the latest news from the industry.
