Planning a DIY painting project can be a taxing process — especially if you’re new to painting. From brands to sheens, there are SO many products to decipher between, which can be really confusing. Plus, with so many options, finding the perfect color can seem near impossible. Plus, if you don’t have the right application technique, your DIY project can leave you saying “D-I-Whyyy?” instead. Luckily, Clare is a Black-owned business that’s turning the process on its head to make revamping your space much more convenient.

Clare just entered the chat.

Clare is the first, ever Black-owned paint company founded by interior designer Nicole Gibbons. Gibbons is a powerhouse when it comes to all things related to color — and she has the portfolio to prove it, having partnered with a number of major media outlets such as HGTV, The Oprah Winfrey Network, The Today Show, Elle Decor, and others.

Gibbons started the company back in 2018 after realizing how hectic the paint shopping experience was. She, along with her team of designers, help curate the perfect paint experience for Clare customers, from tips on color selection to inspiring interior design trends.

“I believe that we have the opportunity to be that next legacy paint brand that’s around for 150 years,” she shared with Fast Company. And, judging by its popularity, the company is rapidly growing with no signs of stopping.
