Widely favored for more than 130 years in the U.S., Canada, and many other countries, Benjamin Moore products are available at the Aoyama Flagship Shop—and these are the same products they sell in the U.S. and Canada. It takes approximately 15 minutes to receive your made-to-order paint, which is mixed on the spot at the Aoyama shop. They have English-speaking staff at both shops and, at the Aoyama shop, they have experienced American painters. Benjamin Moore features paints suitable for DIYers in more than 3,600 color variations, and offers consultation services to help you choose the right one. These paints contain extremely low levels of harmful substances such as VOC, and will come out beautifully when used by anyone. Their signature paint is the “Aura.”(1 quart, 5m²/2 coats, starts at ¥4,650.) At the Minami-Aoyama Senior Brand Shop, instead of paint you can place orders for house reform jobs ranging from planning to construction.
