Choosing your shade
Light, aspect and colour
Cream, taupe and clay are the colours our designers reach for in north-facing rooms, where they add warmth to cooler light. Build depth with tonal layers and texture rather than contrast: linen-look tiles, grainy wood, brushed metals.
- North-facing: warmer tones such as cream, taupe, sage and clay
- East and south-facing: soft blues, warm whites, most colours
- Paint a large swatch and move it around the room through the day
