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: Spring 2026

Our spring issue is out now and has some great features. We speak to Mark Rigby from the Dulux Academy about hanging digital murals. Farrow & Ball insist that their paints cannot be replicated, and we hear from Mirka on the benefits of dust-free working. Our new feature on apprentices starting out focuses on Casey Gardner from Persimmon Homes.
