In his first book, our founder, architectural historian, eco ‘worrier’ and colourman Edward Bulmer takes readers on an in-depth tour of his work in some of Britain’s finest homes including Althorp, Goodwood, Pitshill House and Broughton Hall, along with his own stunning Queen Anne manor house, Court of Noke.
Edward Bulmer is part of a new generation of designers working on historical houses with an eye on designs that appeal to contemporary families and active lifestyles while at the same time respecting the classical traditions that have made the British country house style so popular today. With a modern eye, Bulmer combines his love for the well-worn and timeless, with natural textures as well as rich new color palettes and finishes, as embodied by his line of all-natural, toxic-free paints that embrace both traditional and eclectic tastes.

We have spent years perfecting our pioneering plant-based paints and we are proud of the product we have created using gentle chemistry and a lot of dedication to making a more sustainable paint! We believe we are pioneers in creating natural paints using plant-based ingredients instead of petrochemical derived products.
Unlike many other paint brands, what’s in our tins is on our tins! We declare all of our ingredients, read our full list of ingredients and learn more about how our paint is made.
We use our local courier service called APC which is based in Hereford. APC operates franchises throughout the country and we can deliver parcels throughout the UK on an overnight service.
We are not able to offer returns, as all of our paint is mixed to order and therefore is a bespoke product.
NB: We will accept returns of non bespoke products which include preparatory products.
If you believe your paint is faulty, please contact our team.
My favourite colour !
I’m very impressed with Edward Bulmer Natural Paint. I’ve had excellent advice on colours for several rooms from Emma Bulmer who’s been kindness itself. The sample jars arrived super fast and the paint colours and texture are lovely. At every level the customer service has been outstanding. I’m so pleased I found this paint company …
First, I wanted to say how well all your recommendations are looking so far and that the decorator loves the paints. Apparently they’re a joy to use and even his wife notices how much nicer he smells using them!
I’ve been a decorator for 15 years now and this is by far the best paint I have ever used. From colour to pigment to finish, I will be recommending this to everyone! I look forward to using your products in the future, may your star continue to rise.
When we moved into our cottage, we wanted to start by decorating our son’s room. The previous owner had painted the room white which felt stark and uninviting. I contacted the team at Edward Bulmer for advice on which colours to choose for this north facing room and they were incredibly helpful, on numerous occasions! …
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!
