Paint Fair’s Colour & Design event

Freeport, Grand Bahama – October, 2024 saw the opening of Paint Fair’s new location on Bellevue Lane in Grand Bahama – marking a return to a permanent home after Hurricane Dorian’s destruction meant relocating to a temporary location for the Grand Bahama paint retailer. And, after 5 long years, Paint Fair was also able to reintroduce its extremely popular PPG Colour & Design Shows which had always attracted design and building professionals as well as enthusiastic DIYers and homeowners. The Paint Fair & PPG Colour & Design 2025 Trends events were held over two days, October 29th and 30th, with one event geared for industry professionals and the other for DIYers and homeowners and officially launched the PPG 2025 Colour of the Year – Purple Basil.

“We are so grateful for the amazing support of our new location and for the return of our colour shows,” said Lesley Davies-Baptista, president of Paint Fair. “Almost 250 people enjoyed glimpses of the latest in colour and design trends and got tips on how to get the most out of their projects. We are so excited we could share the latest design trends with industry professionals to help inspire and support them on their projects and for their clients. And, of course, we loved showing our customers some colour and design inspiration and tips to easily and affordably enhance their spaces as we head into the holiday season.”

Attendees were shown all the ways PPG’s bold Purple Basil & other trends could be used in their own projects, techniques on fantastic front door, cabinet makeovers and colour drenching with great colour, how to do remake items with cans of spray paint and more. It was, of course, all topped off with refreshments and giveaways.

Paint Fair’s beautiful new showroom showcases their fantastic Sikkens wood products, Master Wall masonry brick finish, Acrylabs island style hurricane rated roof, Shaw flooring, Tempaper Wallpaper designs and the PPG Colour of the Year. The Paint Fair family celebrated the move and return to their colour & design series in honour of Paint Fair’s founder and matriarch, Joan Davies, who continues to inspire them today to make sure that when it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right.
