We’re finding ourselves drawn to rich, earthy colours, soft muted tones and shades that bring a sense of calm and character to a room.

A few we’re particularly loving at the moment are Dead Salmon No.28, Etruscan Red No.56, Light Gray No.17 and Picture Gallery Red No.42 by Farrow & Ball.

Each brings its own beautiful depth and personality. From the soft, dusky warmth of Dead Salmon and the earthy richness of Etruscan Red, to the quiet, timeless elegance of Light Gray and the deep, sophisticated red of Picture Gallery Red.

We especially love how these shades can transform the feeling of a space. Rich reds create a wonderful sense of intimacy, while softer, muted tones bring balance and calm. Paired with natural linens, warm woods, antique furniture, layered textures and the gentle glow of lamplight, they create rooms that feel effortlessly inviting.

They're colours that lend themselves beautifully to cosy bedrooms, snug sitting rooms and those quieter corners of the home where we love to spend time.

For us, it's not just about choosing a beautiful paint colour, but about creating a feeling. Spaces with warmth, character and a sense of belonging. Rooms that invite you to slow down, settle in and feel completely at home.

Trade paint vs retail paint — what’s actually the difference?

They might look similar on the shelf, but when it comes to coverage, durability, finish and price, there are some key differences worth knowing.

Trade paint is designed with professional performance in mind, while retail paint is typically created for everyday DIY projects — but that doesn’t mean trade paint is just for the pros.

Swipe through to discover the differences and work out which option could be right for your next decorating project. 👉

There’s something delicious about autumn colour. 🤎🍂

Think rich chocolate. Silky mocha. Warm caramel. A splash of coffee. Soft, creamy neutrals to bring it all together.

As the days get shorter and we start craving everything a little warmer and cosier, those same comforting shades are finding their way onto our walls.

Brown is having a serious interiors moment but forget the muddy browns of the past. This season, it’s all about layering warm, indulgent shades to create rooms that feel rich, inviting and cocooning.

Pair deep cocoa walls with creamy neutrals. Add a touch of caramel warmth. Layer in natural woods and soft textures.

The result? A colour palette that feels almost good enough to eat. ☕🍫

There’s something about September that feels like a fresh start.

The mornings feel a little cooler. We’re settling back into routines and, suddenly, all those little jobs around the house start catching our attention again.

That wall you’ve been meaning to repaint.
The hallway that could do with a refresh.

Maybe September is the month to finally do it.

There’s nothing quite like seeing a freshly decorated room come together, especially as we head into the months when we’ll be spending a little more time at home.

You choose the colour. You picture the finished room. You book the decorator (or set aside the weekend to tackle it yourself).

Then comes the preparation.

Finding the brushes and rollers. Getting the dust sheets down. Giving the paint a good stir and decanting what you need into a paint kettle or roller tray for easier application.

If a fresh coat of paint is part of your September reset, we’ve put together a simple guide explaining why ordering your paint early helps — and how a little forward planning can keep your decorating project running smoothly from the start.

Paint ordered. Supplies ready. Paint decanted. Kettle on. ☕🎨

Good paint is about more than how a room looks on day one.

It’s how it looks after the hundredth person has walked through the hallway. After another mark has been wiped away. After everyday life has had a chance to put the finish to the test.

That thinking sits at the heart of Benjamin Moore Scuff-X.

Made for high-traffic spaces, it combines durability and washability with thousands of colour choices and four finishes.

You know that room you’ve been meaning to sort out all year? 👀

The walls are looking a little tired, you’ve been thinking about changing the colour, and somehow it keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list.

Then suddenly… Christmas isn’t that far away. 🎄

With cosy evenings at home, it’s the perfect excuse to finally give your rooms that refresh. And ... have you looked up?

Ceilings are so often painted white and forgotten about, but they can completely change the feel of a room.

You could take your wall colour up and over the ceiling for a cosy, wrapped-in-colour feel. Choose a lighter version of the walls to keep things soft and airy. In bedrooms especially, a painted ceiling can make the whole space feel more considered and finished.

So, what’s the room you’d love to have finished before Christmas? 🎨

Beautiful paint deserves a beautiful base.

Start by filling any cracks or holes, then gently sand the walls in circular motions to create a smooth, even surface.

Wipe everything down to remove dust, dirt and grease before protecting your skirting boards, switches, windows and flooring.

Then comes the exciting part. ✨

Once your walls are properly prepared, you can start building up that unmistakable depth of colour that makes Farrow & Ball shades so special.

Take your time, cut in carefully around the edges and allow each coat to dry properly before applying the next.

Whether you’re embracing the timeless depth of Hague Blue, the softness of Setting Plaster or giving your space a completely new personality, the finish is only ever as good as the preparation underneath it.
