Usage Tips for Best Results

Surface Preparation

• Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or dust.
• Fill cracks or holes and sand smooth before painting.
• Use an appropriate primer or mist coat on new plaster.

Application Technique

• Stir Dulux Light + Space Matt Moon Shimmer thoroughly before use.
• Cut in edges with a brush, then roll evenly in sections.
• Maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks on matt finishes.
• Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Lighting Considerations

• Test the colour on a small wall area before full application.
• Observe the shade in daylight and evening lighting conditions.
• Use consistent lighting temperature in the room for accurate colour perception.

Buying Advice

When choosing Dulux Light + Space Matt Moon Shimmer, consider the size and brightness of your room. In very bright spaces, the colour appears crisp and airy; in low-light rooms, it retains warmth without looking dull. A 2.5L tin typically covers one medium room with two coats, but highly absorbent or textured surfaces may require more paint.

Pairing Moon Shimmer with brighter white ceilings can enhance perceived height, while matching trim creates a seamless, modern look. If durability and washability are priorities for high-traffic areas, compare with scrubbable matt or eggshell alternatives within the Dulux interior range.
