Clare Paint Review

I love online ordering, especially lately. While I don’t mind an errand or 2 a week, we’re still trying to limit the number of places we go.

When I learned that you could get paint shipped to your door, I was in! I didn’t need to make an unnecessary trip to the hardware store!

About Clare Paint

Clare Paint is paint that is shipped to your door.

You can get everything you need at Clare Paint. In addition to interior wall paint, they also carry primer, trim paint, ceiling paint, and even paint supplies.

Clare Paint has zero VOC (volatile organic compounds), which means no hazardous air pollutants.

This is important, especially in a bedroom where you sleep every night!

Swatches from Clare Paint

Clare has a limited palette of colors, which makes it easier to choose paint colors.

A limited color selection means that you don’t have to be an interior designer to choose the perfect color.

You can order swatches, which are 8″ square removable wall stickers.

These stickers are a larger size than traditional paint swatches, so it’s easy to see from across the room.

I ordered swatches for Rosé Season, Irony, Views, Two Scoops, Headspace, and Vacay. It was easy to see at a glance which colors I didn’t like for my bedroom.

Unsurprisingly, I was left with 3 shades in the teal/aqua family to choose from: Views, Headspace, and Vacay. Although I loved Headspace, I ended up choosing Vacay. It’s the perfect moody teal.

The swatches are an important part of the ordering process, so don’t skip them.

I looked online to find images of rooms painted in Clare Vacay and the few I found looked like a much bolder teal (the top swatch). The swatch color was very accurate.

Fast Shipping Time

I’m impatient, so shipping time was something that I was concerned about. Both the swatches and the paint arrived at my house within 2-3 days.

The paint cans come in a happy yellow box, straight to your door.

The box was well packed and the paint was even placed in a plastic bag to prevent leaking.

The cans are sealed with little metal brackets that can be popped off using a paint can opener.

Painting with Clare Paint

The coverage for Clare Paint was excellent. I was covering both a dark blue color and a pale gray paint color.

The Clare paint was able to cover both colors equally well. It was almost 1 coat coverage, in fact. (Two coats is always a better idea though to give the paint color more depth.)

I used way less paint than I normally use because it covered so well. This room barely took a gallon.

The one downside (which is actually a good thing) is that Clare Paint is the most difficult paint to clean out of a paintbrush I have ever used.

It also got on my skin and was really hard to remove.

Why is this a good thing? If it sticks this well to a paintbrush and skin, it will definitely stick to your walls!

I love how velvety the walls look. Vacay is the exact color that I wanted and the room feels so cozy now!

Overall Thoughts on Clare Paint

The process was quick and easy. In fact, the only hard part was choosing one color!

Clare Paint truly is the better way to buy paint.
