Blooming marvellous murals at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show with Graphenstone Paints.

Blooming marvellous murals at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show with Graphenstone Paints.

Posted by Sarah, Celtic Sustainables on 29th May 2025

It's great to see Graphenstone purifying paints being used to paint floral murals at the food village and to paint reclaimed windows for use in a lean-to greenhouse at the Chelsea Flower Show again this year. Below, we discuss the two exciting projects.

Project 1 - Coffee Hut in the Food Village

Graphenstone Paints on the Colicci Coffee outlet in the food village at chelsea flower show 2025
Like last year, Graphenstone collaborated with Colicci Coffee in the food village, supplying them with their purifying paints for a series of vibrant, hand-painted floral murals. Juliette van Rhyn designed the murals, featuring bold botanical themes to enhance the food village at the showground, using a beautiful colour palette.

It turns out that murals can bloom too, at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show!

The team used purifying paints from Graphenstone to create a vibrant atmosphere throughout the foodmontage of food outlets painted with graphenstone paint at Chelsea Flower Show 2025 villages. With plenty of preparation and teamwork, they brought the display to life—one brushstroke (and coffee) at a time.

Graphenstone Purifying paint is perfect for this kind of project because:

  • Perfect for exterior use and has excellent covering power
  • Nice ultra matt finish – perfect for a mural
  • Very low VOC, safe, and easy to use
  • The paint has excellent flexibility with a non-cracking formula
  • It has high adherence to substrates
  • Tough and long-lasting
  • The paint is registered as Cradle to Cradle certified and GreenRate Certified.

Project 2 - Painting Reclaimed Victorian and Edwardian Windows

Going peat-free by Arit Anderson and the RHS, and using reclaimed Victorian and Edwardian Windows with Graphenstone Paints.

Designer Arit Anderson has once again collaborated with the RHS on a new exhibit that highlights the research and development efforts focused on transitioning to alternatives to peat. She worked alongside Beaufort & Rampton Landscapes and many others who contributed to the project. The exhibit conveys an important message about peat-free gardening and provides visitors with insight into what a peatland looks like and the irreparable damage caused by peat extraction.

Relciaming old wooden windows to be repainted with Graphenstone paint

A part of the project was to create a lean-to greenhouse made from reclaimed Victorian and Edwardian windows, donated by the brilliant team at Woodland of Kingston—saved from going into the tip! This really highlights what it’s truly about, making the most of what we already have, and with a bit of TLC, these windows once again look beautiful and ready to serve a purpose again.

The project was a labour of love. When the windows arrived, they were in very poor condition, and it took countless hours of hard work to restore them. The team diligently scraped and prepared the windows, getting them ready to be assembled and finished with Graphenstone paints.

The beautiful shade of blue paint used for the window frames and lean-to shed is NCE colour, specifically NCS colour 6010-B30G in an eggshell finish. We are excited to offer the option to mix British Standard RAL Colour and the extended NCS colour range within Graphenstone, providing plenty of choices. However, it is important to note that Graphenstone’s eggshell finish is no longer recommended for any type of external timber.
