Words by our colour consultant Fiona de Lys The Victorians use green to blend garden facing rooms with the outdoors and true to historic origins ‘Invisible Green’ is a best-selling green for achieving just that, particularly when used with landscape artwork such as here in the Garden Hall. The space that really comes to life in the afternoon when the warmer light of the South facing sun streams in, so a great accent colour to use is one that speaks of heat such as ‘Etrsucan Brown’ or ‘Red Ochre’ or ‘Sang de Boeuf‘. For me, in this setting it’s the ‘Red Ochre’ and that’s because the eye leads onto the vibrant pigment in the original terracotta flooring in the hallway behind me and to maintain continuity between wall architrave and stone flooring ‘Dove’ from the adjoining kitchen is continued throughout the ‘Spanish White’ on the ceiling. ‘Dove’ as the trim option is one that carries a little bit of warmth and green and a little bit of black to give it a grey quality. This is a very warm colour. It works particularly well with any of the Greens. Another very popular colour for South and West facing ceilings and if you look beyond me you can just about see how ‘Lilac Pink’ in the east side of the house. It’s behaving as a warm shade in the afternoon light.
