Our natural paints all work together beautifully and tonally, Edward has done all the hard work for you so you really can be colour confident! To see the first Colour Palettes & Pairings guide, click here. Words by our colour consultant, Fiona de Lys. Darker colours can work really well for eating spaces, especially for a South or West aspect like this one. They give a sense of intimacy and containment and work exceptionally well in library areas and snug rooms. Here the emphasis is on colour and contrast with pop coming from furnishing and window finishes. A really dark blue would have also worked in this space, but the mood is lifted by the mid warm blue of ‘Azurite‘ which tonally works really well. Reading onto the ‘Invisible Green‘, and that’s because of a similar aspect in the garden room too. Remember the whites in the Edward Bulmer Natural Paint range are versatile, so avoid settling on the same one throughout your home if you can, and a great one to complement ‘Azurite’ requires depth and warmth so try ‘Whiting‘. It’s the softest beige you can get and really blends into the warmer floor tones and for that reason, why not try deeper accent colours such as ‘London Brown‘ or ‘Tingry‘ to break up large skirtings or a a wood trim. Dining rooms and snug areas work particularly well in darker tones, and this is a real blue, which carries quite a lot of yellow in it, so it works really well for a West Facing our South Facing.
