At Melton Hall, Cornhill™ No.128 brings a beautiful golden glow to this inviting study.

Inspired by the rich hues of medieval tapestries, Cornhill is a warm, softly radiant yellow that celebrates the beauty of traditional craftsmanship.

Used across the walls, woodwork and shutters, the colour envelops the room in a gentle warmth, creating a wonderfully cohesive space. Paired with dark timber and carefully considered details, the result feels both timeless and inviting.

Introducing Blackout™ No.41, a deep, atmospheric off-black with the subtlest hint of red seen at Melton Hall

Named in memory of wartime London, when the city’s lights were dimmed and streets fell into shadow, Blackout carries a sense of history within its rich, enveloping tone.

Softer and warmer than a true black, it brings depth and definition without feeling too stark. Used here across the archway, woodwork and door, it creates a striking architectural statement while adding a timeless sense of sophistication.

A beautiful reminder that sometimes, the darkest shades can bring the most character to a space.

A timeless white paint with subtle depth, St Martins is inspired by the understated elegance and warm stone colours of the iconic church on Trafalgar Square.

Its gentle yellow warmth lends a welcoming quality, while subtle undertones create depth. The result is a colour that feels composed and balanced, capable of bringing both warmth and architectural presence to any interior.

A warm yellow paint colour with soft umber undertones, Wharf Sacking is reminiscent of the traditional sacks used to transport raw materials. Drawing on London’s history as a centre of trade, the colour combines warmth, depth, and texture, offering a rich, heritage-inspired yellow with a timeless character.

The warm yellow base provides a luminous foundation, while the umber undertones introduce depth and a comforting glow. This combination creates a colour that feels grounded yet inviting, resulting in a versatile colour that can harmonise with both contemporary and heritage interiors.

A lesson in balancing light and depth.

This beautiful kitchen by Olive & Barr pairs Holbein Chamber™ No.7 on the walls with Messel™ No.39 across the cabinetry, a combination that feels both timeless and full of character.

The soft, understated walls allow the deeper, earthy cabinetry to ground the space, while natural light, warm timber and marble bring the whole palette together.

A kitchen colour combination we’ll be saving for future inspiration.

Colour, considered down to the smallest detail.

Our collaboration with Castrads brings Mylands colour to their beautifully crafted radiators, turning an everyday essential into a considered part of the interior.

Shown here in Damp Leaf™ BH.04, London Brick™ BH.07 and Rothschild Street™ No.296 — three distinctive shades that prove radiators can be every bit as expressive as the walls around them.

It’s all in the details ✨

A beautifully considered office by Kate Malone, where gold is used to highlight the architectural details and bring warmth and depth to the space.

From the intricate ceiling and decorative mouldings to the smaller finishing touches, the metallic accents catch the light beautifully.

A workspace with a little more character.
