LIGHT OF DAY

Softer shades bounce light around a room in a friendlier way than their starker counterparts, so choose a chalkier, more biscuitty neutral instead of a cool white. Farrow & Ball’s popular Slipper Satin is a good match to the shade seen in this room and works well in spaces with lots of natural light. A neutral wall can act as a blank canvas, allowing further colours to be introduced easily – proceed gently, though, with knocked-back shades. Tones of blush pink, stone grey and botanical green feel serene when combined with natural textures.
