Our natural paints Emma Diaz paired with Jim Lawrence Kitchen cupboard knobs Classic, high quality and traditional – over the past 20 years Jim Lawrence has created a superior collection of hand crafted home furnishings including lighting, curtain poles, lampshades and more, in the most exquisite finishes. It was so lovely to play a small part in their collaboration on finding the perfect kitchen finish for your Kitchen, with our colour consultant Emma Diaz. With Emma’s guidance, Jim Lawrence has selected the perfect shades to marry with their range range of kitchen cupboard knobs and drawer handles, from our blue ‘Vert de Mer‘ to our yellow ‘Persian‘, find below a selection of our breathable colours paired beautifully with Jim Lawrence’s Kitchen handles, from contemporary, to traditional and modern. Colourful kitchens have been enjoying rather a renaissance, from rustic farmhouse looks to more modern sleek designs, we have been seeing more and more colour on walls, cabinets & woodwork and even ceilings! Using brighter colours on cabinets or kitchen islands is not a new ‘trend’ but the colours being used and the combination of colours are most definitely more creative and confident. Take a look at our blog, ‘4 colour ideas for your kitchen‘ and be inspired. Drab Green 'Drab Green' with Jim Lawrence's 'Large Napier Cupboard Knob' “Create a truly heritage look by using Drab Green with your Polished Lacquer finish. Green is always a popular choice for kitchens and this shade works because it’s neither too pale, or too dark. It is a shade of green that is extremely versatile and easy to live with, no matter what the age of your property. Use it all over (including walls) in a pantry with wooden worktops for a really heritage look, or on cabinetry for a brighter, more modern country kitchen feel. “ Emma Diaz Drab Green Order a Sample Fawn Order a Sample Nicaragua Order a Sample Flaxen Grey Order a Sample Sang de Boeuf Order a Sample Red Ochre 'Red Ochre' with Jim Lawrence's 'Reeded Cupboard Knob' “A favourite colour of mine, Red Ochre with antiqued brass is a wonderfully traditional pairing, creating a homely, traditional look. This red is not bright, but deep and earthy, so it doesn’t dominate a space. It was often used in old country kitchens. The antique brass compliments it beautifully, bringing out the warmth in the shade and making sure the traditional country kitchen look is right up to date. “ Red Ochre Order a Sample Light Olive Green Order a Sample Malahide Order a Sample Brick Order a Sample Mummy Order a Sample Persian 'Persian' with Jim Lawrence's 'Gilby Drawer Pull' “Yellow kitchens are very on trend at the moment, and this colour is warm and bold whilst staying earthy. The heritage copper handles complement the warmth of this optimistic shade to bring it all together beautifully.” Persian Order a Sample Patent Yellow Order a Sample Lute Order a Sample 100 60 40 20 Jonquil Order a Sample 100 60 40 20 Aquatic Order a Sample Milk White 'Milk White' paired with 'Cook's Drawer Pull' “This pairing is perfect for a wonderfully fresh kitchen space. I love this white because it’s warm and strong enough to stand alone as a cabinetry colour. The addition of matt black for the cupboard knobs and handles can create a traditional, or modern monochrome style. Use this pairing with wood in a kitchen to give it a warmer, more rustic feel, or combine it with a white or black counter top for more modern, minimalist, monochrome style.” Milk White Order a Sample 100 60 40 20 Dove Order a Sample 100 60 40 20 Mouse Grey Order a Sample Clay Order a Sample 100 60 40 20 Flaxen Grey Order a Sample Vert de Mer 'Vert de Mer' paired with 'Schoolhouse Drawer Pull' “This is a pairing equally at home in a modern country farmhouse kitchen as an on-trend London apartment. Vert De Mer is a rich, timeless blue that is beautifully emphasized by the freshness of the Nickel finish in this scheme. Pair with limestone floors for a country feel or quartz or marble worktops for a modern touch.” Vert de Mer Order a Sample Turquoise Order a Sample Azurite Order a Sample Malahide Order a Sample Clove Order a Sample 100 60 40 20 Thank you so much to Jim Lawrence and Emma Diaz for including our natural paints as part of your kitchen colourways collaboration, delighted to be in such great company.

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.
How to Make the Most out of Small Spaces There is a palette of possibilities when tackling small room designs, whether you’re in a cosy apartment, a quaint cottage, or even just decorating a small downstairs loo or an attic bedroom.
