Gloss Finish




        Facing fitted wardrobes are the perfect way to use hallway space efficiently. These were painted in a blue-green gloss mixed by interior designer Adam Bray. 'I love gloss walls they really do bounce the light about,' says Adam. 'But it is rare to get a client who will agree to them.' The carpet, designed to look like antelope hide, is from Capitol Carpets of Chelsea.

Smooth Landing





          The black doors and the neutral palette used for the walls create a contemporary contrast with the reclaimed wood floor. On the right, pocket sliding doors open up to a seating area-cum-spare room while the stairs opposite lead down to the kitchen.

Classic connection




    Ed and Polly Nicholson's Georgian house opens into a wide entrance hall featuring  Michael Bennett oils, which hang above an eighteenth century table. A chair from Edward Hurst and a rug from Edward Marnier decorate the rear of this space, which leads out to the garden.

How to Choose Paint (Part 3)




Salon Drab




This rich color can be used to evoke a classic 19th century feel, or as the perfect choice of paint go to 'chocolate' for a modern look, working as a dark accompaniment to both the yellow and red based neutrals.


Salon Drab is the perfect shade for a traditional study. Its rich tone feels as if it has been plucked straight from a Georgian cottage, lending a serious air to the room. However it is also equally suitable for a modern media room, when used on both walls and ceiling to create a cocoon like atmosphere.


Salon Drab will look great in a formal dining room, I would add Yeabridge Green to the woodwork for extra interest. Being a traditional 19th century color, Salon Drab works well in period homes, but in a modern house it suddenly takes on a contemporary air.

How to use it...

1. 
        


Salon Drab is a true chocolatey brown - best used on walls, with a fairly strong red-based neutral like Oxford Stone on the woodwork. However it is also a great accent color, which could be used on floors or furniture with all the warm Farrow & Ball tones. I would however avoid using it with blues and greys. 



2.



          Red-based neutrals like Dimity really suit Salon Drab and will create a sophisticated look. I love to use it with accent colors like Vardo and Yeabridge Green maybe on a piece of furniture.

Drop Cloth



Named after the indispensable dust sheets used by every decorator, Drop Cloth is a darker version of the new Shadow White, and the classic Shaded White; completing a trio of colors that work effortlessly together.


For the perfect understated, tone-on-tone neutral kitchen, Drop Cloth is particularly suited to units, alongside walls painted in its friend Shadow White. It will look fresh in bright sunlight, but more muted in evening light, with the added bonus that lighter walls and darker units will make any room feel larger.


Like Shadow White, Drop Cloth is neither too yellow nor too grey, so works on a number of levels. It is great for creating a sophisticated but relaxed look, especially when layered with Shaded White and Shadow White.


How to use it...

1. 



Drop Cloth is the perfect neutral to use with many of the old Farrow & Ball favorites, particularly with Blue Gray and Light Gray for a slightly mismatched and very relaxed scheme.


Drop Cloth is great for those who want to avoid a scheme that is overly gray, but also don't want any yellow tones in their rooms. When used on the walls, with a Light Gray floor, and Blue Gray woodwork, it will create a room that feels as if it has been there forever.



2. 




       If you're looking for a more graphic, contemporary look, Drop Cloth looks fantastic on the woodwork against stronger colors like Railings and Babouche.

How to Choose Paint (Part 2)



Peignoir

          This choice of paint, grey-pink has a romantic feel inspired by the chiffon gowns worn in old-fashioned boudoirs. Created by giving the softest of pinks a dose of black, this color has the ability to feel traditional and modern at the same time.




Peignoir, although an obvious choice for romantic bedrooms, is actually perfect for any contemporary living space if you want to be right on trend. It has an unsurpassed softness in evening light, creating a room which is both warm and intriguing. It is also the perfect update for a room painted in any of the warmer neutrals.


        It was created by adding a subtle dose of black, which means that its mysterious tone appears pink to some, and grey to others; certainly proving that pink is not just for girls. If used in isolation its dusty quality makes it feel as if it has been in a room forever, but when contrasted with Wevet or All White it creates a sharper more upbeat space. 
 
 
           Peignoir has just the right amount of grey to stop it becoming too girly. It would look fantastic in a kitchen, particularly one with marble surfaces.

How to use it...

1. 



Peignoir feels fabulously old fashioned and creates beautifully humble rooms. It can be used with Skimming Stone on the woodwork for a very subtle tone-on-tone look, or with All White for a slightly fresher, lilac feel. For those looking for a slightly bolder feel, it is also great when combined with deep shades such as Brinjal or Charleston Gray.

          Paired it with Worsted on Tessella, one of the updated colorways of our existing wallpapers. I am planning on using Tessella on the walls, Worsted on the woodwork and floor and Peignoir on the ceiling.
