Bringing Jane Austen’s World to Life with Colour Edward Bulmer was honoured to be approached by Winchester College Heritage to create a set of bespoke paint colours for the rooms that Jane Austen lived in in the final months of her life in 1817. By carefully scraping back layers of paint, the original Georgian decorating scheme was uncovered. Edward specially mixed new colours to match those original finishes.
Colour Schemes for the West Facing Room The colour in a west facing room alters greatly depending on the time of day. Paint colours come alive in the late afternoon and early evening with a warmer light, but can appear cooler in the morning shadows. Whatever you plan to use your room for, choosing the right paint colour is essential to harness the beauty and mercurial nature of the west-facing light.
