Backdrop

“It wasn’t much, but it was my first home. Threadbare carpets that reeked of the previous owner’s pets. A sink with more rust than enamel. And a toilet that leaked whenever it was flushed. But it was mine, and surely all it needed was a splash of paint and the place would be transformed. Huge mistake! I returned from the local hardware store with twelve pots of bright orange paint (don’t mock, the storekeeper said it was all the rage and it looked fine on the nickel-sized swatch). Six hours later, my apartment walls were probably visible from space. To make matters worse, the paint was blotchy and runny – and had splashed everywhere while being applied.”

Whether it’s your first home, or your next rental, Backdrop is here to help you personalize your space by making it easy and convenient to shop housepaint (interior and exterior) online. Featuring a curated color collection and high quality supplies, Backdrop goes the extra mile (with a great photo gallery and the biggest swatches we’ve ever seen) to make sure their customers find the perfect color choice. Backdrop’s range of interior and exterior paint types includes primer, standard finish, and semi-gloss finish; and each option is accompanied by a neat description to help customers understand the color tone the specific color-and-finish combination will create.

As for Laurence, the Fascination writer above, his personal Backdrop favorite: West Coast Ghost, (a shade of “super light grey with blue overtones”) would certainly have been a better choice than that…um…Traffic Cone Orange.
