The Northern Light Colour Palette by Jessica Buckley x Edward Bulmer

The Northern Light Palette

by Jessica Buckley and Edward Bulmer

Selected by Edinburgh interior designer Jessica Buckley the colours are chosen to be rich and enveloping so that even the most unpromising room can be completely transformed and a selection of twelve different hues means that there is the perfect blue, red, green, brown, yellow and even white, to suit.

Working in houses in Scotland, Edward Bulmer had seen that the light could vary enormously with the weather, but that it had its own special character that reflected colours differently to those further south.

The Northern Light Palette takes the guess work away from decorating rooms which don’t have the benefit of abundant natural light: north-facing rooms, basement rooms or any room where the quality of natural light is diffuse and cool.

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.
