8 comforting & relaxing schemes

Little Greene

We’ve collaborated with Jo Malone London on a limited-edition candle that pairs their Pomegranate Noir fragrance with the equally beloved Little Greene paint shade, Masquerade. Together, they present the perfect pairing to help you achieve a sense of sanctuary in your home.

Whether you’re seeking a cosy bedroom retreat or a warm, restful living space, this combination of scent and colour will create the ideal environment where you can relax and find a sense of comfort.

Discover schemes that evoke a comforting & relaxing mood, inspired by the new candle, with ideas for featuring Masquerade in the home.

Comforting & Relaxing Paint Schemes

Many living spaces are painted in neutral shades, which provide a seamless backdrop to coordinate with your chosen fabrics and furnishings. If you’re seeking a little more character for your walls, Masquerade is the perfect alternative to a classic neutral.

A beautiful powder-pink, Masquerade has a very soft appearance, infusing warmth and helping you to feel soothed and comforted. It features all over in this living space from @helloflorauk, accompanied by a rich, sumptuous red velvet sofa for added luxury.

Your bathroom should provide an oasis of serenity within your home. Use shades with earthy, warm undertones to bring a real sense of comfort to the space, creating a gentle and inviting setting that allows your mind to feel soothed. 

Our much-loved soft pink, Masquerade, is offered in a family of graduated hues, including the palest colour, Masquerade – Light. Used flawlessly in this scheme from @homemilk, this shade is an elegant alternative to white, adding noticeable more warmth to help you create a relaxing space.

Earthy, dusky pinks have timeless charm, beloved for their ability to combine with soft textural elements and fabrics. In bedroom schemes, these elegant hues provide an unrivalled combination of beauty, warmth and character, creating the perfect environment for rest.

Rather than pairing Masquerade with white on the ceiling, consider the related shade, Julie’s Dream. This very soft, light neutral is based on umber, giving warmth without being overly sweet. @jodie.melissa chose this inviting pairing to bring enveloping warmth and cosiness to her bedroom.

For a pink that feels a little more muted, consider Mochi from our ‘Sweet Treats’ colour card. A plaster-like hue with subtle brown undertones, Mochi feels very natural and comforting within a scheme. This makes it simple to use all over for a cohesive, restful backdrop that’s easy on the eye – perfect for bedrooms, living rooms and home studies.

Mochi also works wonderfully in combination with coordinating warm neutrals from the ‘Sweet Treats’ palette. @emelie.sundberg paired Mochi with the elegant warm stone colour, Split Pink, to bring an intimate, cocooning feel to her daughter’s bedroom.

Comforting & Relaxing Wallpaper Schemes

If you’re looking to create a haven of relaxation, there is no better inspiration than the outside world. We feel soothed and comforted by nature, which is why natural colours and patterns feel so at home within our living environment.

Stylised floral wallpapers like Spring Flowers provide a wonderful tool to surround yourself with the calming qualities of our natural environment, bringing beautiful texture and personality to your walls. @by_anitarussell chose the uplifting pink and green ‘Garden’ colourway, which is featured on the Jo Malone London candle packaging. It creates a delightful floral backdrop for her daughter’s bedroom, paired harmoniously with Masquerade on the woodwork.

Spring Flowers was also chosen by @1894home to bring joyful pattern to her little one’s bedroom. She selected the ‘Bombolone’ colourway, which features the floral print on a golden honey-hued background that delivers a cosy, cocooning feel.

Characteristically Arts & Crafts in style, this wallpaper is a beautiful accompaniment to traditional wood finishes to create a truly timeless interior. @1894home introduced the earthy pink-hued neutral, Castell Pink, on woodwork to blend with the natural materials and patterns.

Our collection of wallpapers includes many designs that feature our much-loved Masquerade family, enabling you to incorporate this inviting shade in schemes that embody your own personal style. For a luxurious, large-scale floral pattern that exudes confidence and sophistication, consider Poppy Trail.

The Masquerade colourway brings a beautiful softness that complements this elegantly proportioned design. @montyroadabode features this wallpaper on the upper walls, contrasted harmoniously with Masquerade – Mid on tongue & groove panelling. By layering different textures and patterns, she introduces an ambience of intimacy, warmth and comfort, creating the ultimate sanctuary for rest.

Another way to incorporate our alluring soft pink, Masquerade, into a room is with our Broad Stripe wallpaper, as seen in this scheme from @roombyroomdublin. Stripes have been used within interior design for generations as a simple way to introduce complementary combinations of colour and pattern.

Broad Stripe in the Masquerade colourway has a charming, childlike quality, whilst the soft pink palette recalls a relaxed, restful mood. It works wonderfully in a bedroom space, both for little ones and grown-ups who are seeking a playful touch of pattern to add personality and character to their walls!
