What this sheet is for

Record what went on which wall so a touch-up in three years is one trip to one shop instead of an afternoon of matching.

Who it is for

Homeowners, renters making good, landlords between tenancies and decorators keeping records for customers.

How to use it

  1. Write the code from the tin, not the name on the chart.
  2. Record the finish — matt, eggshell, satin. It matters as much as the colour.
  3. Note the room and the surface: walls, ceiling, woodwork and radiators differ.
  4. Say whether there is enough left to touch up, and where it is kept.
  5. Add wallpaper and tile batch numbers at the bottom.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: What colour, what finish, what brand and how much — so touching up in three years takes one trip.

Write down the finish and the code. The tin gets thrown away and the colour is forgotten. Written down with the finish, the batch and where it was bought, a repaint or a touch-up is a five-minute job instead of an afternoon of matching.

Write-on lines: Property · Record started · Kept by

Table, 11 rows: Room and surface · Colour name · Code or mix · Brand and range · Finish · Coats · Litres used · Bought from · Date · Enough left to touch up

Ruled lines: Wallpaper, tiles and flooring — pattern, batch, where bought, and any spare kept
