As the temperature drops, the desire for a cosy and comfortable environment increases. Rich, warm tones can produce an illusion of heat and warmth, and a room incorporating these shades feels inviting and homely.
Francesca, founder of
Francesca’s Paints, recommends shades of brown to produce a space that feels comforting and effortlessly stylish. “Brown is a great choice for the bedroom or living room as it creates a warm, cosy atmosphere and looks particularly wonderful at night. It is rich and can add drama and a sumptuous quality, but as it is a neutral shade, it will never feel overwhelming,” she says. “Brown is a particularly soothing colour, which is exactly what is needed for rooms in which you relax and spend longer periods of time. It is the colour of earth and connects us to nature, which can feel very enveloping and protecting, and it has this amazing ability to look chic in any setting.”
Lavinia’s Russet and Lichen are two shades of brown that produce very different looks, but both are enticingly earthy and warm, add depth and interest, and adapt beautifully to different lighting conditions.
Francesca’s Paints produces a range of warm colours—from delicate dusky pinks to autumnal browns and creams—ideal for creating a serene and comforting space. Thrift is the perfect example of a warm neutral that creates serenity in living rooms, bedrooms, snugs and studies. These adaptable shades have been crafted to suit both contemporary and traditional interiors.
