Why Hawke’s Bay Homeowners Choose Porter’s Paint for Premium Finishes

If you’re renovating, building, or refreshing your home in Hawke’s Bay, the quality of your paint finish matters. That’s why many homeowners across Napier, Hastings, Havelock North, and beyond are turning to Porter’s Paints for something more refined.

As a premium paint line developed by Dulux, Porter’s Paints offer beautiful textures, rich colours, and a level of finish that elevates any space. At Paint My Space, we’re proud to be an authorised Dulux applicator – meaning we’re qualified to deliver Porter’s finishes the way they’re meant to be seen.


What Makes Porter’s Paint Special?

Unlike standard acrylic paints, Porter’s Paints are crafted using natural pigments and minerals to create finishes that are rich in texture and depth. These paints aren’t mass-produced off the shelf — they’re designed for homes with character and style.

Key features include:

  • Low-VOC and environmentally considerate formulations
  • Unique natural textures such as lime wash, chalk finishes, and mineral paints
  • Hand-applied techniques for a truly bespoke finish
  • A soft, matte look that responds beautifully to light — perfect for Hawke’s Bay’s bright, sunny climate

Finishes Available from Porter’s Paint

These are some of the most popular Porter’s finishes we use in Hawke’s Bay homes:

  • Chalk Emulsion – Ideal for interior walls like bedrooms and lounges. Offers a soft, ultra-matte finish that’s elegant and modern.
  • Lime Wash – Great for feature walls or outdoor spaces. This breathable, mineral-based finish adds depth and a natural variation in colour.
  • French Wash – Suits rustic or European-inspired interiors such as kitchens and bathrooms. Creates a soft, aged look.
  • Industrial Lustre – A metallic finish perfect for modern homes or striking statement walls. Works well in lounges, entryways, or even commercial spaces.

Designed for the Hawke’s Bay Lifestyle

Homes across Hawke’s Bay — from beachfront baches in Te Awanga to contemporary builds in Taradale — benefit from paints that handle both style and durability.

Porter’s Paints are particularly well suited to:

  • Bright, light-filled homes that showcase subtle texture
  • Natural or rustic interior themes
  • Weather conditions like strong sun and coastal salt air
  • Feature walls that require a unique, hand-finished look
