Farrow & Ball, British purveyors of paint and wallpaper, plans to open a new store in Friendship Heights next month.

The 2,300 square-foot showroom is scheduled to open Sept. 9 at 5221 Wisconsin Ave. NW. The store will include Farrow & Ball’s complete line of paints and wallpapers. The location is near the Chevy Chase Rosa Mexicano.

The company which got its start in the 1930s still makes its paint and wallpaper at its factory in Dorset, England.

“Each and every batch is subjected to scrupulous testing to ensure that our Elephant’s Breath is no Dead Salmon and our wallpapers retain their uniquely tactile texture,” wrote the company in its press release announcing the new showroom.

Don’t expect bargain prices, a gallon of interior paint from the store’s website costs about $100.
