Tikkurila, the Finest Paint for Your Kitchen

I’ve asked The Paint Hub in Carlow for some help with this month’s blog post.

I’ve been buying my paint from them for many years now. Even though I’m based in Cloyne, Co. Cork—which is the same distance from Carlow as the Earth is to the Moon. The service, expertise and the range of paint they stock makes it very worthwhile for me to deal with them over that distance. They are simply out of this world. (Did you see what I did there?)


The reason I’ve invited them on to the blog is so you can hear from someone else about Tikkurila paints. I’ve staked my entire reputation as a hand-painter of kitchens on these paints. So obviously, I’m going to say they are good. But maybe you’d like to hear from someone closer to the source of these fabulous paints?

Here is what The Paint Hub says about Tikkurila:

Lee is one of the finest craftsmen we have ever had the pleasure of working with. We have been working closely together for many years. We have even called one of our colours Reeve Blue in his honour, which we believe has pride of place on his mantel piece, or so we have been told!

Sorry to interrupt. Lee here again—all blushing and embarrassed. You might think a) I paid The Paint Hub to say that or b) wrote it myself. I swear on my daughter’s life, I did neither.

Apologies for the interruption. Back to The Paint Hub:

We are delighted Lee has chosen to use Tikkurila products for all his hand-painted kitchens.

We have seen the success of Tikkurila throughout the UK by master craftsmen like Lee. He is leading the trend in Ireland, while setting standards for hand-painted kitchens at dizzying heights.

Tikkurila is the leading Nordic paint company, with products that are manufactured from carefully chosen raw materials which meet the highest quality standards.

Tikkurila has been around since 1862 and is dedicated to providing customers with quality that will stand the test of time. Ranked number 1 in Finland, Sweden, Russia and the Baltic countries, it really shows that Lee is ahead of the game and has done his research!

Here at The Paint Hub HQ, we complete rounds of vigorous testing to ensure that all of the products we supply are the best on the market. We test for longevity, ease of use and aesthetics, among other things. This allows us to have full confidence and pride in our range.

Customers of Lee Reeve can be assured that their bespoke kitchens will be durable, washable, unique and beautiful.

There is also a kaleidoscope of Tikkurila colours to choose from and an array of finishes. So now that you know you are in good hands with Lee and Tikkurila, the only thing to worry about is what colour to choose!


Lee again. Firstly, I have been informed by my wife that if I ever swear anything on my daughter’s life again, she will personally make sure that something unfortunate happens to mine.

Secondly, I’m very grateful to The Paint Hub for taking the time to explain about Tikkurila paints. From my point of view, these paints really are the absolute best I’ve ever worked with. They are fully deserving of their reputation in Russia, the Nordics and the Baltics.
