Green paint can bring the outside in, breathing life and nature into your home at the same time as being both a positive colour at the same time as bringing a sense of calm.

Whether you go for a soft green or a more vibrant hue, we can help you find the perfect shade for your space which will bring your room to life and flatter all the colours, furnishings and art within it. In this blog we are going to look at the magic of green paint in different rooms and in shades to bring a sense of tranquility and harmony to your home. Read more… Green Bathrooms Green bathrooms are very popular and we are not surprised. Whether you would like to have a vibrant colour full of pigment like ‘Invisible ‘Green’ and make a statement or if you would prefer a subtle pop of colour on a cabinet using our soft ‘Pea Green‘. Or use them together…see the top featured image in the home of @appreciationprojectuk, you can pair colours from the same colour group brilliantly creating a soft, tonal and undeniably stylish look. Panelling is also a great way to add both texture and depth to a space and give it an immersive effect. 'Pea Green' bathroom vanity designed by @katycronk.interiors 'Invisible Green' Bathroom designed by @johnstonparkinteriors at @leonardsleehouse Invisible green is the colour of confidence, equally at ease in grand rooms and humble nests. It’s the perfect shade of calm and joy – and who doesn’t need that in their lives? My lovely decorators are always happy to see the tins appear, but I’m also an impulsive colour changer, especially in my children’s rooms, so I appreciate first hand how easily the paint runs and how much work has gone into making them safe for us all.

Franky Ridgeon, Interior Designer Green Bedrooms Our apple green ‘Pomona’ and soft hue ‘Roger’ are wonderful colours for your bedroom with their fresh and subtle undertones to give you a relaxing space. Edward says ‘this soft green is like the first hint of spring. Tender shoots that peek out of the ground and tightly furled buds on trees. Roger is ‘spring in a tin’, raring to go, crisp and inviting, with great promise of things to come.’ See this enchanting child’s bedroom painted in ‘Roger’ by Holly Vaughan of Vaughan Design and Development as featured in Homes & Gardens recently.

Edwards says ‘it is a strong colour that is hardly invisible but we have taken the 19th century idea of painting ironwork in the landscape to ‘vanish’ it and mixed a beautiful grass green. This is a really striking colour firmly planting the outside in – it looks particularly incredible in a conservatory/garden room, hallway or sitting room.’ As our plant based paints are made from the same family of 12 pigments, no matter how wild your choices, all our colours work tonally together even colours from the same colour group such as ‘Pea Green’ and ‘Invisible Green’.

I realised that I’ve never met a bright green room I don’t love, yet I rarely use the colour. This is the green of Babar’s coat – a shade that goes with so much, as it does in nature.
