Bright conservatories with skylights can be awkward spaces to paint in colour. The trick is to find a way to absorb the light without dulling it down or overpowering it with a vivid colour or even illuminating it with something too white. Read more for all the colour tips..

Using soft greens in a dual aspect room

Pomona is a fantastic colour if you want to use it where you have dual aspect rooms of East and South light and that’s because it carries a little bit of yellow and a little bit of blue and can balance the light as it transitions from the morning through to the midday.

Responsibility Knocks: A column for House & Garden

In the first of a new series of columns, Edward Bulmer, the winner of our Responsible Design Award (sponsored by Vinterior) in 2022, lays out why we should all pay attention to responsible design and consumption, and how to become more conscious in the process

What are microplastics and how can we reduce them in mainstream paints?

Microplastics, microbeads and nano particles are so tiny (measuring 0.006 to 1 millimetre, but they can be up to 5mm) that they are now everywhere! We are probably all inadvertently responsible for this as it is not mandatory to be told when they are used in a product and only a small number of their uses has been outlawed. Furthermore, plastics that are dumped in soils or water are being broken down to become microplastics.

The ubiquity of plastic in our houses and why we need to cut down

Avoiding single use plastic is now accepted as common sense (though it is still not mandatory), but it is just the tip of the ‘plastic iceberg’ when it comes to our plastic addiction. So much of the plastic we buy now is unavoidable. Often this is because it makes up the packaging used to wrap and transport the goods we buy, and just as often it IS the goods we buy.

Why the design world needs to cut its carbon footprint

The industrial revolution, or what you might call ‘the dawn of commercial design’ relied on the use of a new energy source – fossil fuels. From coal, to coal tar, to crude oil, to natural gas, their use began to alter the dynamic and the planet increasingly had to store the resultant carbon emissions in the atmosphere rather than in its vegetation, soils and oceans.

How to Choose Colours for your Period Property
