Using soft greens in a dual aspect room

Words by our colour consultant Fiona de Lys

Pomona is a fantastic colour if you want to use it where you have dual aspect rooms of East and South light and that’s because it carries a little bit of yellow and a little bit of blue and can balance the light as it transitions from the morning through to the midday.

This is a vibrant and energetic space. It is the music room where the warm yellow in the wooden flooring and the mini grand piano almost becomes the accent colour against the freshness of ‘Pomona’ on the panelled walls.

This modern day music room is brought to life with window finishes, furnishings and various artworks in complementary dusky lilacs, pinks and a pop of emerald. Pomona is one of those Bridgeton background colours I call it and so works really well pairing with colours like ‘Fair Blue‘, ‘Lavender‘ and ‘Rose‘. You could go to town here and paint your architraves your doors, your corners, your ceiling, various combinations of these were really bright and energetic room.

And if you wanted to include a white or a ceiling or an accent somewhere, I would recommend the warmth of ‘Spanish White‘.

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.
