We are delighted to announce that Edward’s recently created peach terracotta colour ‘Header’ is the winner of Homes & Gardens Colour of the Year Award Edward Bulmer and the team are thrilled to have won this award from Homes and Gardens, after launching the Palette Blenders last year, 7 new carefully curated colours to fill in some gaps in the colour chart. It is real testament to Edward Bulmer and his interior design knowledge to have introduced such a worthy front runner to the range. We would like to thank Homes and Gardens and everyone who has used this terracotta tone over the past year.

When it mellows and fades it only becomes more beautiful. Our shade, Brick, is often used to great effect – rich and enveloping; but when you don’t quite have the light for it, you need a shade of less strength. With this colour we have halved its weight and added some yellow ochre to soften the effect of going paler. In brickwork the length of the brick is known as the stretcher, the end of it, the header – it is half a brick in effect and this gives rise to our choice of name.” “Header is a wonderful warm brick red. I believe as red as you really need to go if you want a red room because this will give you a tone that is still very respectful of all the other things you’ll bring into the room rather than overpowering it, as so many stronger Reds do, in my opinion. We have a tone called brick, really popular, but in some rooms some aspects it’s a little bit too strong and so we’ve actually introduced a colour that really has half the strength of brick and a little bit more yellow ochre just to give it a slightly orangey hue. But as a brick can be used in two ways, length ways or end on, and that’s known as stretcher or header. The half a brick or the head is the name that we have given to this colour.” – Edward Bulmer Header at Yavington Barn, design by Max Rollitt, photography by Christopher Horwood Header at Yavington Barn, design by Max Rollitt, photography by Christopher Horwood Header Order a Sample Hespan Order a Sample Dutch Orange Order a Sample “The thing I’ve always loved about Edward Bulmer paint is that it’s not just a flat finish, it has a real resonance to it. That’s especially true of Header, with its softness and warmth – you can almost feel the movement of light within it. It’s the perfect backdrop for our showroom, where it catches the changing light throughout the day.” – Max Rollitt Header at Yavington Barn, design by Max Rollitt, photography by Christopher Horwood Like all of our colours, Header transcends style and architecture and along side all of our colours at Edward Bulmer Natural Paint, are made with absolute resonance and relevance. Reminiscent of Indian Summers this useful and charismatic colour works in tonal harmony with the existing range. Not showy, just functional, convenient, historically acclaimed, and most importantly made with natural materials that give Edward’s colours the depth and clarity that is only achievable with earth and mineral pigments.

Edward’s home has been through many transformations, nowhere is this clearer today – perhaps surprisingly – than in the current ground-floor WC.
