You could summarise the great John Fowler’s paint schemes as variations on coral pink, lime green and three shades of white. I have most admired the coral pink and here is my homage to him. Fowler’s genius was to recognise that the quality of the paint was paramount and he achieved his shades with coloured oil or watercolour glazes usually over a white base. This is an old technique, seldom practiced now, as we are happy with matt emulsion. Our natural emulsion does, however, have the character of the oil bound distempers he used for basing out and this colour is an affectionate nod to his approach to decorating when few value historical decorating at all. Dutch Orange is colourfully honest, we declare all the ingredients in our natural paints.
Excellent customer service! Emma was so incredibly helpful with her colour consultancy advice and always very quick at getting back to all my queries. I love the finished result from using Lilac Pink on the walls and Spanish White on the ceiling. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

“Edward Bulmer Natural Paints are a go-to for us in our interiors projects and their likeminded attitude towards creating an environmentally friendly product made the collaboration an obvious fit.

First, the Drawing room. Huge success. Your tones are praised to the skies and the cheers are unanimous. The shades are uplifting and inspiring and the two affianced couples that have been around were happy at the “blank canvas” the walls gave them.
NO picture surfer here! I read every word of your book. Truly a standout among other Brit design books (a tough field). Your personality, judgement and creativity really come through. Thanks.
Painting is going well – I absolutely love your colours!
An elegant enfilade made even more so by your colours…Look forward to seeing after the galleries have been hung with sporting art…
We have created this calculator to help you estimate the amount of paint you will need for your project. Please note that this is only an estimate, based on normal surfaces with two coats of paint.
Please check our practical painting advice - if you are painting onto a very absorbent surface, you may need more paint, and for best results, you may need to prime your surfaces.
If you end up with any leftover paint, get inspired with ways to use any excess paint - it's even compostable!
