Inviting colours to fall in love with…

This Valentine’s Day, we’re showcasing some of the most alluring hues in our palette, perfect for creating colour schemes that draw you in and envelop you with warmth.

From the beauty and romance of pink to rich, sumptuous browns and opulent deep purples, discover paint colours that will help you fall in love with your interiors…

Indulgent purples

Purple is a shade that is deeply associated with royalty, luxury and opulence. Whether you choose an elegant muted plum colour or a darker aubergine, purple will bring instant character and depth to your walls, transforming the atmosphere of your room.

A classic deep purple like Adventurer works wonderfully in small bedrooms with little natural light to create an intimate haven. Or consider painting woodwork in Còrdoba in our Intelligent Gloss finish to pair with a complementary neutral such as Scullery on walls, giving your scheme an exquisite finish.

Alluring reds

Reds evoke warmth, richness and vitality, perfect for adding impact to your scheme or creating a confident focal point. Using deep and sumptuous reds all over can fill your room with a strong sense of atmosphere and deliver a sophisticated, captivating backdrop for a formal dining space. Consider using Bronze Red and Arras in a bold Double Drenching scheme to achieve this look.

Muscovado is an earthy, brownish red that recalls the inviting warmth of Mediterranean terracotta hues. This shade provides a beautiful, contemporary focal point on kitchen cabinetry, accompanied by a soft neutral like Slaked Lime on the walls for a harmonious finish.

Tempting browns

Shades of brown bring warmth and comfort to a space, pairing beautifully with natural materials such as wood, stone and linen. These cosy hues are simple to use on all walls and woodwork to create an encompassing, colour-drenched scheme with a nurturing feel.

From soft golden-brown hues to rich chocolate browns, this colour will instil an atmosphere of calm within both high-traffic spaces and quieter rooms. Consider the honey-toned brown, Bombolone, for a homely kitchen scheme that offers wraparound warmth. Or a deeply indulgent brown like Ganache is a wonderful alternative to navy or charcoal to add impact to your dining room scheme.

Inviting pinks

Pink has timeless appeal, beloved for its ability to elevate even the most unassuming spaces with elegance and charm. You can utilise romantic pinks to add warmth to north-facing rooms that were previously dull and lacking in character, helping you to find beauty in every part of your home.

For a true, classic pink, choose Hellebore. A dusky shade containing a muted violet note for added depth, this is the perfect pink to bring personality to bedrooms and bathrooms. For something a little softer, Mochi is a gentle brownish pink that looks beautiful all-over, or when paired with a related accent shade, such as Attic II.

Rich olive greens

Green is a shade that we feel soothed and comforted by, reminding us of the tranquillity of the natural world. With their earthy yellow undertones, olive greens are warm and reassuring shades that bring a sense of positivity to a room. Embrace these colours all over to create a scheme that really welcomes you inside.

Consider Light Bronze Green for your hallway space, creating beautiful transition to lead from the outdoors, inside the warmth of your home. Olive Colour is a rich and inviting green that works wonderfully in colour-drenched living rooms and bedrooms, creating a wraparound effect.

Captivating teals

Whether it’s an open-plan kitchen or an intimate snug, the use of rich teals and sumptuous blue-green hues can instantly make any room assume a luxurious quality. Adorn every surface from the skirting boards to the ceiling in your chosen shade for a truly captivating effect, creating a space that draws you in and feels very indulgent.

Consider a combination of two coordinating blue-greens such as Tea with Florence and Harley Green for your kitchen scheme. Use one shade on the walls and the other on cabinetry to create subtle contrast, adding a beautiful sense of depth to the finished look. Mid Azure Green is a vibrant yet dark and cocooning teal. It looks divine when embraced all-over in a living space, paired perfectly with panelled walls and soft velvet furnishings.
