Colour me calm
If ever there were a time to take notice of the way a colour in your home makes you feel, it would be now. More than ever before people are looking to their homes as a place of refuge, a place to unwind, relax and find their zen after the worries of the day. What’s more, homes have become multi-functional spaces used as makeshift offices, mini classrooms, and so much more. Creating the right atmosphere in these busy spaces can shed a whole new light on what it means to stay calm with the help of colour.
That’s where we come in. We consider ourselves more than just a paint brand, we’re a colour brand built on the understanding that colours have an impact on your moods and the way you feel connected to a space. Which is why we consulted a professional colour psychologist to help us in creating an exclusive collection of colours – all with their very own mood-enhancing qualities. We want the spaces you create to make your dream lifestyle a reality. And if it’s calm and soothing spaces that you’re hoping to achieve, we recommend starting with a few of these favourites from our 60 timeless colours, all intended to bring the perfect energy into any space.

Neutrals have, and most likely always will be, a steady interior favourite. This may be thanks to their understated versatility or endless decorating opportunities.
