Pirta Decorating Centre is set to launch on Cold Bath Road.

A brand new decorating centre is set to open in Harrogate next week.

Located on Cold Bath Road, Pirta Decorating Centre will launch on Wednesday (6th August).

Billed as “boutique paint store”, Pirta will offer eco-friendly paint technology, locally-inspired colour palettes and expert advice.

It’s being launched by Rob and Nikki Atkin, the husband-and-wife duo behind the renowned Pirta brand.

Nikki, who is the shop manager, said:

“We’re so excited to open our doors to the community.

“Our focus has always been on creating a space where our customers feel empowered to make their homes beautiful without compromising on health or sustainability.”

The opening of the showroom will also be accompanied by the launch of the Decorating Centre’s website where Pirta offers their paint and accessories with quick national delivery.

Rob Atkin, founder and director, said:

“We’re not just selling paint; we’re offering a complete decorating experience.

“Our mission is to give our customers the confidence to transform their spaces with colours and finishes that are not only stunning but also kind to the planet.”

To celebrate the grand opening, Pirta Decorating Centre will host a special launch event on 6th August, inviting the community to explore the store, enjoy free refreshments and get a first look at the unique colour palette.

The first customers to the shop will also receive a free goodie bag.
