So, let me tell you about a place I stumbled into recently. It’s a rabbit hole of pure, unadulterated possibility. I’m talking about Colour Supplies Home & Garden Store in Oswestry.
You know that feeling when you walk into a shop and instantly feel more creative? Yeah, it’s like that, but times ten.
First, the name is a bit of a lie. It’s not just “supplies.” It’s a kingdom. A technicolor dreamcoat of a store.
Must Read
The Paint Section: A Dangerous Playground
Let’s start where every good DIY project begins: the paint. But this isn’t your average B&Q moment. Oh no.
They have every shade you’ve ever dreamed of. And shades you didn’t know existed. “Sloth’s Belly” green? Yep. “Cynical Sunrise” yellow? Absolutely.
You’ll find yourself grabbing a tiny tester pot for “just a splash of colour.” Four hours later, you’re painting the entire hallway. Whoops. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
The Staff: Your Cheerleaders in Aprons
The people who work here are not just employees. They are enablers. In the best possible way.
I asked for a specific shade of “dusty rose.” The lady behind the counter didn’t just point. She walked me over, grabbed three options, and said, “This one will make your skirting boards sing.” How could I argue with that?
They genuinely get excited about your project. Even if your project is “painting a single wonky shelf.” They’ll treat it like it’s the Sistine Chapel.
The Garden Bit: Not Your Nan’s Shed
Now, the “Garden” part of the name is where things get really silly. In a good way.

They have plant pots that look like grumpy faces. Solar lights shaped like gigantic dragonflies. And enough fairy garden accessories to build a tiny, magical village. I almost bought a miniature mailbox for a gnome I don’t even own.
You can grab a bag of premium compost and a pack of glow-in-the-dark pebbles. Because why not? Your flowerbeds deserve a rave.
Oh, and the outdoor furniture section? It’s dangerously comfortable. I sat in a wicker chair for a solid ten minutes pretending to think about cushions. I was just avoiding the real world.
The “Home & Garden” Magic
What makes this place special is how it blends the two. You don’t just buy paint for inside and plants for outside. You buy everything for everywhere.
Need a floral wallpaper for the loo? Got it. Want a rubber duck doorstop for the conservatory? Of course they have it. It’s like someone raided the best parts of a hundred different shops and put them under one roof in Oswestry.
It’s a dangerous cocktail of “oh, I need that” and “I never knew I wanted that until now.”
The Little Extras That Get You
You’ll walk in for a single paintbrush. I promise you this. You’ll walk out with a brush, a tin of magenta paint, a cactus shaped like a teapot, and a pack of scented drawer liners.
How does that happen? It just does. The store has a gravitational pull. You can’t fight it.

They even have a section for “Upcycled & Weird.” Old doorknobs turned into coat hooks. That sort of thing. It’s pure gold.
A Confession
I have been back three times in the last two weeks. My living room now features an accent wall the colour of a bruised plum. My kitchen windowsill has a mini zen garden with a plastic T-Rex in it.
My bank account is slightly annoyed, but my spirit is thrilled. That’s what Colour Supplies does to you.
If you live near Oswestry, go. If you don’t, seriously consider moving. Or at least make a day trip of it.
The Final Verdict
This isn’t just a shop. It’s a destination. A place where beige goes to die and colour comes to party.
You’ll laugh. You’ll spend money you didn’t plan to. You’ll start a DIY project you have no business starting.
But honestly? You’ll also have a really good time. And isn’t that the whole point of a Saturday afternoon?
So grab your keys, head to Colour Supplies in Oswestry, and prepare to be tempted. Maybe I’ll see you in the fairy garden aisle. I’ll be the one arguing with myself over a plastic mushroom.
