THE SUBTLE PALETTE

Crown’s new ‘ Washed’ paint range offers the ideal selection of colours for anyone who’s a fan of faded fabrics and bleached linens. ‘ We’re embracing the natural beauty of weathered, eroded surfaces,’ says the brand’s colour specialist, Jemma Saunders. These quietly beautiful, muted shades are easily combined to create a relaxed, contemplative scheme. From £14.49 for one litre (crownpaints.co.uk).
