WE LOVE: three wall colours for the perfect autumn look

Do you often find it difficult to choose wall colours that perfectly match your room? Put those swatches away! We're going to share our three favourite paint colours for this season to help you pick the perfect shade to give your room an autumn makeover.



1. Oval Room Blue
Grey tones have been all the rage for a year or two, but now there's a new shade in town. Farrow & Ball's Oval Room Blue is a gorgeous grey-blue with a high density of black pigment. This colour will give your room a look that is playful as well as classical. The depth of its tones take us back to the 18th century with its rooms full of ornate but elegant Neoclassical design features. These are just the sort of elements we love, and they're the perfect partner for this lovely grey-blue. Are you decorating a room that doesn't have classical features? This colour will work equally well in a cosy family room or a stylish loft.



2. Boldly feminine
The feminine touch doesn't have to be girly. A bit of subtle female charm isn't just a good thing. It's a must! The dusky pink of Sikkens C0.05.75 is the perfect wall colour. Paired with vintage items like a Persian carpet or trendy velvet cushions, it will give your interior an edgy look that will appeal to the man in your life.

3. Into the jungle
When it's too cold to sit outside, why not bring the outdoors indoors? Create the basis for an urban jungle interior with the dark green of Sikkens number L0.40.20! This colour looks best when used next to a white wall or in a room with plenty of light. Just wait and see - the contrast is brilliant! But don't be alarmed when you open the paint tin. The colour looks very bright in the pot, but once it's on the wall, the result is amazing. Now all you need are a few cheerful pot plants and voilà, you're ready for autumn :-)

If you'd rather keep everything white, then RAL 9010 is an excellent choice. This colour is just slightly off-white, giving it a warm appearance. Using this colour will give you an empty canvas to fill with your own personal interior design style.
