COLOURS FOR FEATURE WALLS

Feature walls are a wonderful way of adding a little something extra to your space or refreshing a room without completely redecorating. 

There’s a simple trick to pairing a feature wall colour with your other surfaces, and it’s one that colour expert and Brand Ambassador Patrick, from Farrow & Ball has been using for years.

“The best way to approach a feature wall is to avoid any really strong contrasts between the accent colour and the three adjacent walls,” says Patrick. “Look for colours with the same undertone, which will help you achieve a more ‘blended’ look.”

HERE ARE SOME IDEAS USING COLOURS FROM OUR  FARROW & BALL COLLECTIONS OF PAINT.
