Edward Bulmer was honoured to be approached by Winchester College Heritage to create a set of bespoke paint colours for the rooms that Jane Austen lived in in the final months of her life in 1817. By carefully scraping back layers of paint, the original Georgian decorating scheme was uncovered.  Edward specially mixed new colours to match those original finishes.

The colour in a west facing room alters greatly depending on the time of day.  Paint colours come alive in the late afternoon and early evening with a warmer light, but can appear cooler in the morning shadows.

The sitting room is the best room in the house to relax in. The kitchen may be the bustling heart of the home, but the sitting room is the room to escape to and unwind in, to find some calm and peace. It’s also a great room to entertain friends in.

The arrival of sunnier days, lighter evenings and bank holidays encourage us to spring clean. There is no better time to give a room a fresh coat of paint  and the south-facing room is a great place to start. At this time of year they are filled with natural light during the day as they benefit from the lovely spring sunshine. This consistent brightness offers more flexibility in colour choice than north-facing spaces, but we recommend selecting  shades that complement the natural light for the most harmonious effect.
