It would be hard to put an accurate number on just how many paint options there are to choose from and one of the most common dilemmas my clients come to me with is “ I can’t decide which colour to pick, please help!” There is no denying that everyone’s gravitating towards neutral tones right now but there are still so many to pick from.
So, let’s take a look at some of my favourite neutrals, how I would pair them with my favourite flooring from Luxury Flooring and how to style the space to tie it all in.
Moodboard One – Coat Paints – Mindful & Painswick Ghoul Oak
The overall theme is a contemporary and minimalist aesthetic with a neutral and clean palette. The design features “Mindful” by Coat Paints which is a bright, yet earthy, pale taupe. It is described as a warm, peaceful colour and a timeless neutral which makes a humble statement in any lighting condition. I have paired it with the Painswick Ghoul Oak which is a light oak herringbone floor from Luxury Flooring. A mix of black and metallic accents adds depth. Furniture includes a black-framed wine rack with glass panels, which will look gorgeous stacked with your favourite Côtes de Rhone, a woven rattan accent chair, and a warm copper-toned side table with a white top. The hanging pendant light has stolen my heart and serves up a modernistic look whilst still creating a warm feel. The art piece has proven to be very popular with many of my clients and includes a woven, neutral-toned checkerboard, which provides visual texture when paired with a wall picture light. Accessories include a ceramic vase with greenery for a natural botanical layer and my favourite scent from August & Piers, which is divine.
Moodboard Two – Little Greene – Joanna 130 & Deluxe Brushed Suede
Starting your morning in this elegant space would be a dream come true. Using Little Greene Joanna 130 which is a soft, off-white shade, creates a calm and neutral backdrop. It pairs beautifully with the warmth of the darker wood and brass accents. The perfect flooring partner for this timeless look is Deluxe Brushed Suede with its natural and light tones which brighten, widen and illuminate whilst remaining a classic choice. The vanity unit is from Lusso Stone and is a deep espresso colour, adding a grounded and sophisticated contrast. Lighting is from RV Astley and I’ve added a beautiful-smelling Diptyque hand wash and lotion set. With bathrooms being a space we don’t change seasonally, I prefer to take a classic approach to styling them. And remember, your bathroom is also your sanctuary for those all-important self-care moments.
Moodboard Three – Farrow & Ball & Studley Orchard Oak
It’s giving country cottage core and I’m in love! Farrow & Ball Skimming Stone has got to be a staple shade for the brand. It pairs so well with various styles but my favourite to pair it with is a modern farmhouse aesthetic. With its warm light grey undertones, Skimming Stone is extremely versatile…it sits well with lighter tones for a clean and contemporary look, but can also be used in a darker statement scheme. My choice of flooring for this scheme is the Studley Orchard Oak. It is known as a rustic grade, meaning that the planks have more knots and imperfections which gives the product more character and can add warmth and depth to the room, perfect for those candle-lit moody weather evenings. I have accessorised it with a plush olive green accent chair, a rustic mirror, antique-style vase and brass accessories including hardware from Yester Home, a brass lantern and brass framed wall art. To really give the space a warm feel I have added a rug from the William Morris collection by Ruggable. Just insert a log burner!
Moodboard Four – Lick White 03 & Thorpe Roasted Oak
A nod to the mid-century aesthetic. This moodboard provides a soft but modern and clean look in equal measure. Lick is known for its eco- friendly products whilst still providing a colour palette that a modern audience will love. I have chosen White 03 Matt for this look which is a warm white paint with yellow undertones. It is a soft, uplifting neutral designed to soak up rays of sun before reflecting them back into the room so you and your space feel lighter and brighter. The perfect pairing for this paint is Thorpe Roasted Oak, a solid oak featuring grains and knots that add so much character and elegance to the room. The accessories for this scheme are bold and include a statement pendant light, elegant freestanding mirror, lanterns, dressing table and tortoiseshell vase sourced by my brand, Talis Interiors. However the show-stopper, for me, is the burl wood and boucle armchair, again sourced by Talis Interiors. The floor lamp is a timeless addition from Liang & Eimil and I’ve also included an uber-sophisticated geometric cushion from Oka.
