The Colourful Past: Edward Bulmer and the English Country House Book

In his first book, our founder, architectural historian, eco ‘worrier’ and colourman Edward Bulmer takes readers on an in-depth tour of his work in some of Britain’s finest homes including Althorp, Goodwood, Pitshill House and Broughton Hall, along with his own stunning Queen Anne manor house, Court of Noke.

Edward Bulmer is part of a new generation of designers working on historical houses with an eye on designs that appeal to contemporary families and active lifestyles while at the same time respecting the classical traditions that have made the British country house style so popular today. With a modern eye, Bulmer combines his love for the well-worn and timeless, with natural textures as well as rich new color palettes and finishes, as embodied by his line of all-natural, toxic-free paints that embrace both traditional and eclectic tastes.

Published by Rizzoli, Foreword by The Duchess of Richmond

We have spent years perfecting our pioneering plant-based paints and we are proud of the product we have created using gentle chemistry and a lot of dedication to making a more sustainable paint! We believe we are pioneers in creating natural paints using plant-based ingredients instead of petrochemical derived products. 

Unlike many other paint brands, what’s in our tins is on our tins! We declare all of our ingredients, read our full list of ingredients and learn more about how our paint is made.  

We use our local courier service called APC which is based in Hereford.  APC operates franchises throughout the country and we can deliver parcels throughout the UK on an overnight service.

We are not able to offer returns, as all of our paint is mixed to order and therefore is a bespoke product.

NB: We will accept returns of non bespoke products which include preparatory products. 

If you believe your paint is faulty, please contact our team.

Edward Bulmer Natural Paint is the best eco paint range I have used. Lovely to apply, great cover, exceptional finish and generally a joy to work with. I definitely recommend it!

Kerry, KAJ Decorating

Arguably the best pink out there!  

Jessie Cutts, Cutts & Co

As if you’ve been lifted high up into the clouds. So airy and serene.    

Franky Ridgeon, Interior Designer

Our Roger loves this Roger ! Is the perfect bright and fun colour for his Bedroom. And of course natural – what’s not to love !

Holly Bouldin

Loved the depth of colour and lumminosity of the paint, easy to apply and great coverage.
