We are a family business We are a small, family business and unlike any other paint brand our natural paints are designed, created and ‘homemade’ by leading interior designer, architectural historian and ‘colour man’, Edward Bulmer. We have a team of 22 across two locations, the Herefordshire HQ, our office is in fact in an old cow barn and the paint factory a restored Dutch barn set in beautiful rolling countryside. We also have our inspiring London showroom with a friendly team of colour experts. Like a top chef, Edward is passionate about every colour we produce, how it has been made and the raw materials we use to make it. It not only matters that the paint colours look beautiful in your home, for Edward, it matters that more that our paints do not cost the earth.
