Tuesday, 10 June 2025 15:14

Nikki and Rob Atkin.

Creators of Revolutionary Cooling Paint are now Bringing Sustainable Decorative Paints and Coatings to their hometown in Yorkshire.

Local husband and wife team Rob and Nikki Atkin have announced the opening of Pirta Decorating Centre.

A welcoming specialist paint shop in the heart of Harrogate.

The new establishment combines cutting-edge sustainable paint technology with expert advice and a customer-centred personalised experience.

Pirta Decorating Centre will offer a comprehensive range of low to no VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) paints, created with sustainability and health-conscious customers in mind.

The eco-friendly formulations provide beautiful, durable finishes without the harmful emissions associated with some traditional paints.

Co-founder, Nikki Atkin, commented:

"We believe your home should be both beautiful and healthy.

"Our paints are developed to meet the highest environmental standards while delivering exceptional quality and stunning aesthetics."

As a Harrogate company, Pirta now look to engage with their local community, offering a range of their own brand of decorative paints and coatings, as well as a wide selection of high-quality accessories.

The interior paint collection can be custom-mixed to match any colour specification, including a unique colour palette inspired by Yorkshire and the landscapes of the UK.

The Atkins are creating a showroom that demonstrates the transformative potential of their products in real-world settings.

Pirta Decorating Centre is located in a storefront on Harrogate's popular Cold Bath Road and will officially open its doors to the public July 2025.

An opening celebration is planned, featuring free drinks and an introduction to their unique colour palette.
