A bathroom at the home of Edward Bulmer, painted in 'Eau de Nile' Autumn brings a unique and breath taking transformation, as vibrant reds and golden hues sweep across the landscape. This seasonal shift, from summer to fall, offers endless inspiration. One of the most charming ways to capture that essence at home is by embracing autumn’s earthy palette in your interior design. In this piece, we’ll explore the rich, welcoming world of autumnal colour through the artistic vision of Edward Bulmer Natural Paint. Rooted in Nature The essence of an earthy autumnal palette is deeply rooted into the colours of nature. Edward Bulmer Natural Paint understands this connection and has curated a selection of colours that beautifully encapsulate these earthy elements. ‘Royal Grass Green’ is a vivid and deep shade with a leaf-like luxuriance. Despite its name, ‘Drab Green’ is anything but drab: a muddy green that has an exquisite softness for your autumn palette, captures the essence of autumnal foliage while maintaining a sense of calm to create a cosy and tranquil atmosphere.

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.
Eco-friendly Christmas Traditions at the Home of Edward Bulmer Edward and Emma Bulmer and their family have always tried to create a more eco-friendly Christmas with more natural traditions to celebrate the festive season. Creating a Christmas without too much plastic and over consumption can be tricky, especially when we are all bombarded with gift ideas, decorations and general festive trimmings from early October!
