The Northern Light Colour Palette by Jessica Buckley x Edward Bulmer

Focus on Colour Consultancy

Our beautiful natural paints will transform your home with colour and tonal harmony. If you’re not sure where to start, our expert colour consultants are available to create a bespoke palette just for you, either online, in your home, or at our London showroom.

The Sitting Room Haven

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 colour you choose to decorate it in is key to the atmosphere and mood.

Kitchens – Calm or Colourful?

The kitchen is the heart of the home — a place where functionality meets personality. When it comes to choosing the right colour scheme, it can be surprisingly tricky to decide between calming neutrals or a bold burst of colour. Each approach has its own charm, and the best choice often depends on your personal style, lifestyle, and the atmosphere you wish to create.

The Finishing Touch – Painting Your Front Door

The Easter weekend is the perfect time to get outside and add some colourful cheer to your outdoor space. Whether you have a garden, porch or just a front door, a little update with a tin of natural paint can go a long way in adding flair and colour.

Colour and the South Facing Room

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.

Easter Tablescapes and Dining Room Decorations

Easter is the perfect time to refresh your dining room and create a festive atmosphere for family gatherings and meals. Spring is the season of renewal, so incorporating spring colours, fresh blooms, and cheerful decor can instantly transform your dining room.

The Soho Lighting Co. have just launched a new range of paintable downlighters, so they can be painted beautifully into your project. To create a cohesive look throughout a scheme or space, you can now match your lighting hardware to the ceiling and wall colour.

Colour Drenching Ideas

One of the emerging trends of 2025 is colour drenching. For anyone wondering, this is simply painting a room in a single colour, allowing the colour to flow across walls, ceiling and trims. This is a brave way to decorate, but it creates harmony, depth and a strong visual impact. Dive in for colour and design and be inspired.

Ten Beautiful Bathrooms

The bathroom is one of the most used rooms in the house and one of the most fun to decorate. With images to inspire and ideas to match, read on and be inspired to update your own bathroom.

North Facing Rooms

Deciding how to decorate a North facing room can be a conundrum. The lack of direct sunlight and resulting cooler muted light has earned North facing rooms the unfair reputation of being hard to decorate. But no longer! With helpful advice and inspiration from our colour consultants we can help you embrace North facing spaces.

How much paint do I need?

We have created this calculator to help you estimate the amount of paint you will need for your project. Please note that this is only an estimate, based on normal surfaces with two coats of paint.

Please check our practical painting advice - if you are painting onto a very absorbent surface, you may need more paint, and for best results, you may need to prime your surfaces.

If you end up with any leftover paint, get inspired with ways to use any excess paint - it's even compostable!

What are you painting?

Estimated
Painted Wall/Ceiling Area

Our natural matt emulsion is perfect for interior walls and ceilings.

0 litres

0 m2

This estimate is based on the dimensions of your room, minus the space taken by average doors and windows.

For this area, we suggest would be adequate.

Estimated
Woodwork Area

Our water based eggshell or gloss is ideal for woodwork or metalwork.

0 litres

0 m2

This estimate is based on skirting and the doors/windows you tell us about. 1 litre should cover 2-3 doors or 20m of skirting.

For this area, we suggest would be adequate.
