LET’S GET PAINTY
I LOVE colour. It makes my heart sing. Here are just some of my favourite paint colours right now…
1. BALL GREEN
Farrow & Ball
I love the simplicity of this tone of green. It’s non-shouty, compliments so many other tones but also somehow packs a real punch. I love it in any room of the house. Works really well with soft reds, golds, off blacks, whites and mulberry.
2. TRUMPINGTON
Edward Bulmer
We are in the process of painting our dining room in this tobacco shade, so stay tuned! I love its earthiness; it adds such a warmth to a room. Pair with Linwood 'Ashfield' fabric, leathers, golds and warm greens.
3. BRICK
Edward Bulmer
I am not generally a fan of orange but when I saw this colour, it 100% converted me. It’s similar to a terracotta but somehow much softer on the eye. It works beautifully with black, gold, tobacco yellow and greens.
4. WIMBORNE WHITE
Farrow & Ball
I’ve used this white a lot and think it is so pretty - almost like a milk colour. It’s perfect for woodwork , ceilings and window frame, if pairing with a stronger colour on the walls.
5. RUSE
Paint & Paper Library
Is it pink? Or heather? Or a bit of both? Whatever it is, I love it. It works beautifully in a bedroom or in a cosy living room. I love it paired with mulberry, forest green , black and off white.
6. OLIVE COLOUR Little Greene
I personally think dark green rooms have had their day, but this jewel colour feels so much fresher and more exciting than standard dark green. I love it in a kitchen with black cabinets or in a dramatic hallway or bathroom.
7. LIGHT BLUE
Farrow & Ball
I just love this pretty blue. It has quite an antique-y feel to it and looks so lovely teamed with gold picture frames and oranges/reds. Pair it with 'De Nimes' for woodwork, also by Farrow & Ball, as shown here on the panels.
8. MASON PINK Edward Bulmer
Swoon. I love this putty pink - it’s just the right side of delicate but still manages to have soul and substance. I like it paired with mulberrys or greens and think it works in any room of the house.
9. BATH STONE Little Greene
A little less punchy than the other yellow earlier on, this tone is more of a sand yellow than a tobacco. It is subtle yet I think works beautifully with blues, reds and greens. It would look fabulous in a living room.
10. ADVENTURER Little Greene
Sure, this is a punchy colour but isn’t it lovely! If you are doing panelling it would look wonderful for the walls, paired with a lighter shade like ‘Ruse’ for the panels. I think this works really well in bedrooms, bathrooms and studies/snugs. Pair with lighter pinks and greens.
