Paint Brushe Reviews
US paint brush brand Purdy have nearly 100 years of experience under their belts making painting accessories of distinction. Respected by professional decorators across the world, they are still hand crafted to the highest quality standards.
They’re the best professional paint brushes that money can buy, as far as we’re concerned. They might cost a lot more than some of the brushes on this list, but you pay for quality. Purdy brushes, when looked after correctly, will outlast any inferior brand.
We tried out their Monarch Elite Paint Brush Set, and you can tell by the handmade quality that they’re the best paint brushes around. Each brush has a sticker put there by the craftsman who made it. It’s a touch of class that’s hard to find elsewhere.

Another heavy weight in the decorating industry, Norwich based Hamilton manufacture a range of the best paint brushes for decorating interior and exterior surfaces. We tried out their set of five from the Prestige Pure Synthetic range, because it offers all the brushes you need from cutting in to edge work.
The bristle quality is excellent with good paint pickup, they’re not cheap and nasty synthetic brushes but some of the best pain brushes for walls and work tops that we’ve tested out so far. The wooden handles are comfortable to hold, and there are multiples of two sizes, so the set will last for a long time.

Based in North West London, Axus Décor pride themselves being a company that takes decorating seriously by talking to the tradespeople that do the job every day. They supply a range of the best paint brushes for decorating as well as paint removal tools and PPE.
The Immaculate Finish Brush Set we got our hands on is an impressive piece of kit. The tapered filament bristles are good at holding a lot of paint and they do a good job of spreading it evenly without brush marks. The bamboo handles are better for the environment as well.

Easily one of the most recognisable decorating brands out there, Dulux have been a household name since the 1930s. With a remarkable range of paints, some of the best paint brushes for decorating and accessories to match, we knew the Perfect Finish Triple Brush set would be on our list.
This set of three brushes has a secret weapon inside, that we think is probably the best brush for cutting in that we’ve used so far. It’s a unique triangular shaped paint brush that can get right into corners without spreading or bleeding paint. We like the ergonomic handles, but our favourite little feature is the paint lid opener on the end. It’s touches like this that make the best paint brushes for the UK market.

The Supvox brand of tools, materials and accessories are great for crafters, DIYers and creatives that want to transform their homes or create pieces of art without breaking the bank. The set of ten Household Bristle Paint Brushes we looked at are the best paint brushes when you’re on a budget but still want quality tools.
They’re nice and light, with a comfortable grip on the wooden handles. They’re not up there with the refined Purdy or Hamilton brushes, but when you have a pack of ten to play with for less than a third of the price, you can paint away without worrying about wrecking expensive brushes.

Champion budget tool brand Silverline have an extensive range of tools to fit any job around your home or garden. From drills to growing baskets, they also happen to make some of the best quality paint brushes for the money.
We tried out their Synthetic Paint Brush Set, and like the range of brushes, from a useful ¾” up to a big 3”. It means you can complete almost any task from fine work and cutting in to covering large surfaces with a single set of brushes. The synthetic bristles are tight and easy to control, and the paint pickup is as good on gloss paint as it is on emulsion.
