7 MAKING THE MOST OF LIGHT // Advice // The same colour can often appear quite different from room to room and during different times of the day. Knowing how much natural light a room receives and what direction it faces are two key factors to keep in mind when considering colour. Slipper Satin No.2004 & Blue Gray No.91 NORTH FACING ROOMS It can be difficult to create a feeling of space in north facing rooms, as they tend to have a cooler and harsher light. If your room is smaller in size, use strong colours such as Brinjal to create an intimate cocooning atmosphere. SOUTH FACING ROOMS These rooms are full of warm light throughout the day, so maximise that feeling by choosing soft tones such as Blackened, which offers a contemporary edge due to its cool blue undertones. EAST FACING ROOMS To create as much warmth as possible in this slightly bluer light, look to softer duck egg colours, such as Teresa s Green. Pair with darker tones on the woodwork, such as Green Blue, so that walls appear lighter in contrast. WEST FACING ROOMS Whites, such as Wimborne White, will keep west facing rooms feeling airy as they can feel bluer in the morning and become warmer throughout the day. // 5

8 STAYING NEUTRAL // The Neutral Groups // Using neutrals throughout the home is a simple way to achieve a timeless and cohesive space. Our six core neutral groups can be used as a scheme in their own right or as a base to build a stylish look and feel especially when accented with bolder colours and wallpaper. Blackened No.2011 & Railings No.31 // 6

TRADITIONAL NEUTRALS This sophisticated group of neutrals were the first whites created by Farrow & Ball and still work well in contemporary conditions today.

Layering them throughout the room results in a seamlessly sophisticated and relaxed space. Old White No.4 Off-White No.3 Slipper Satin No.2004 Lime White No.

9 TRADITIONAL NEUTRALS This sophisticated group of neutrals were the first whites created by Farrow & Ball and still work well in contemporary conditions today. The underlying greygreen tones have a softness that creates a decorative scheme which feels as if it has been there forever. Layering them throughout the room results in a seamlessly sophisticated and relaxed space. Old White No.4 Off-White No.3 Slipper Satin No.2004 Lime White No.1 YELLOW-BASED NEUTRALS Considered the prettiest and simplest of our neutral groups, their creamy undertones evoke thoughts of the country, making them very easy to live with. However, they should never be thought of as too yellow or creamy their traditional feel stems from the addition of a minute amount of black, which elevates them, making them feel very special. String No.8 Matchstick No.2013 New White No.59 White Tie No.2002 // 7

Oxford Stone No.264 Joa s White No.226 Dimity No.2008 Pointing No.2003 CONTEMPORARY NEUTRALS This group has a contemporary urban feel and, to most, can appear greyer.

10 RED-BASED NEUTRALS The red undertones in these timeless neutrals provide the warmest of all our neutral schemes. They work splendidly in traditional situations, but are also suitable for contemporary homes as they work cohesively with many materials that are used in interiors today. Oxford Stone No.264 Joa s White No.226 Dimity No.2008 Pointing No.2003 CONTEMPORARY NEUTRALS This group has a contemporary urban feel and, to most, can appear greyer. However, the magic of these neutrals lies in the fact they have an underlying lilac tone which retains warmth, but still brings an edge to modern projects. Elephant s Breath No.229 Skimming Stone No.241 Strong White No.2001 All White No.2005 // 8

EASY NEUTRALS These comforting and easy-to-use neutrals have a gossamer quality that is ideal for those who prefer clean and understated designs.

273 ARCHITECTURAL NEUTRALS This is the ideal group for those wanting a stronger architectural feel.

11 EASY NEUTRALS These comforting and easy-to-use neutrals have a gossamer quality that is ideal for those who prefer clean and understated designs. Neither too cool nor too warm, many people consider them as similar to the popular Scandinavian tones. Purbeck Stone No.275 Cornforth White No.228 Ammonite No.274 Wevet No.273 ARCHITECTURAL NEUTRALS This is the ideal group for those wanting a stronger architectural feel. Purposely cool, with a bluer undertone than the other groups, these neutrals create a more hard-edged, industrial look that is conducive to minimal living and many contemporary properties.

12 GET THE LOOK COASTAL // Inspire // Coastal schemes are always popular as they create restful and relaxing spaces full of carefree childhood memories of running amongst beach grasses and exploring rock pools before an indulgent ice cream! To create a coastal look in your own home our Head of Creative, Charlotte Cosby, shared her favourite tips and colour schemes.

Wallpapering the back panels of a bookcase or even the inside of a wardrobe is an ideal way to experiment with pattern and colour. 3. MIX & MATCH Create a unique look by using complementary patterns above and below a chair rail. Alternatively, to create a bold look, you can use contrasting colourways in the same design on the same wall to make a dramatic statement. // 13

18 EXPERIMENTING WITH COLOUR OUTSIDE // Inspire // Whatever the style of your home and garden, and the look you re creating, there are many ways to introduce colour to exteriors: from exterior walls, front doors, window frames and trim, to garden furniture, fences, sheds, plant pots and even balconies.

22 YOU&FARROW&BALL // Inspire // JULIETTE LE LORIER - FOUNDER OF PARIS TELEX Juliette lives with her family in Etienne Marcel, Paris. Here she explains why she chose Farrow & Ball to transform the walls of her apartment, creating a unique look for her home. I love the subtle elegance of Farrow & Ball paints and their surprising depth. I like to combine the unexpected tones in the palette in a modern and sometimes offbeat way. I added a touch of Yellowcake to bring brightness and joy to my son s Dix Blue bedroom; and our living room has one pink Calamine wall to surprise guests. It has soft blue undertones that give the room a unique look without being too feminine.

RADICCHIO // Trends // Pink has been at the forefront of interior design in recent years and there is now a natural progression to stronger reds, with their spirit of bold optimism.

24 RADICCHIO // Trends // Pink has been at the forefront of interior design in recent years and there is now a natural progression to stronger reds, with their spirit of bold optimism. Radicchio feels exuberant, romantic and sensual, rather than clean or graphic, due to its complex underlying blue tone. The colour sits seamlessly with the harmonious greys Mole s Breath, Purbeck Stone and Ammonite to create rooms with impact and depth. Radicchio should always be the dominant force of this scheme, while the greys remain an intrinsic, but more recessive element, so rooms remain happy and vital.

STUDIO GREEN // Trends // There is something almost defiant about the use of botanic Studio Green on walls instead of the ubiquitous charcoal darks.

26 STUDIO GREEN // Trends // There is something almost defiant about the use of botanic Studio Green on walls instead of the ubiquitous charcoal darks. It is unapologetically classic and has a fantastically timeless old world quality, but can be used in the most modern of rooms. The sober colour reflects nature, especially when combined with creams, such as New White, Farrow s Cream and Pointing, all of which blend seamlessly to create rooms that feel calm and serene. Studio Green walls not only create an alluring retreat, but also provide a sanctuary. Studio Green No.93 & Pointing No.2003 // 24

28 HAY // Trends // Understated Hay feels soft and familiar. Its quiet and whimsical qualities create rooms that have a hushed atmosphere as well as an unmatched depth and gentleness. Neither a hot nor sunny yellow - although it becomes more raw in bright light - this colour is best counterbalanced with the tonally harmonious Oval Room Blue and Setting Plaster to create life-affirming rooms reminiscent of a mid-century palette. Delicate Wimborne White could then be used as a warm, reflective neutral on the ceiling. Although this combination of colours feels rather eclectic in nature, it creates spaces that feel established as well as being fun and easy to live with.

30 ALL WHITE // Trends // A pure white like this is devoid of both colour and association. All White has no pigment and creates an uncomplicated feel which is naturally fresh, but not stark or brilliant. The key to this look is to create a mood of stillness and calm by layering different whites. Great White, Cabbage White and Strong White, with their different nuances of colour, can be used in any combination with All White to create subtle surprises. They also create the perfect backdrop for both art and natural materials. All White No.2005 // 28
