An earthy tobacco shade can work really well in rooms you want to feel warm, rich and intriguing. It is a fabulous backdrop and can be used in a great variety of rooms. As with all our tones it is based on earth pigments and iron oxides. Funny that such a life-giving tone should usually be named after the killer weed; but we have put tried to put a positive spin on it by naming it after the late Baroness Trumpington who claimed to be partial to a cigar after making love! Trumpington has such unrivalled depth which can only be created with earth and mineral pigments, kind to nature and kind to period properties, our natural paints do not cost the earth and they allow the walls to breathe.
When we moved into our cottage, we wanted to start by decorating our son's room. The previous owner had painted the room white which felt stark and uninviting. I contacted the team at Edward Bulmer for advice on which colours to choose for this north facing room and they were incredibly helpful, on numerous occasions! I would never have chosen Trumpington had they not recommended it and now I am in love. Our son's room is warm and cosy and brings me joy every day, so much so that I just want to sit in it all day long!

I would just like to say how pleased we are with both the Tingry and Portland paint over here in France. It has worked beautifully on the old walls!
As background, the house is a fairly undistinguished 1960s house, so it lacks interesting features, but it has large windows and it’s very light. For this reason we chose Ochre for the main room, which is our sitting room. It faces east, so on a good day the sun comes streaming through the windows in …
I’ve always had this mantra that you should live and work with what you love so as a designer I felt a real connection with Edward Bulmer’s transformative paints. We both see colour as a vital necessity – the essential raw ingredient. I’d fallen in love with Cuisse de Nymphe Emue – a pink that …
