My current colour crush

Green paint colours are everywhere right now, from lush, bright greens which are a great choice for the summer, to deep, dark, moody greens which add drama to a living space. But which one is the best choice for you? The answer depends upon the kind of feel you want your space to have - would you like it to feel warm and welcoming, with a timeless quality? Then try a soft, mid green such as The Little Greene Paint Company's Normandy Grey, which has enough yellow in it to be warm, but is muted enough to feel classic.

Or would you prefer your room to feel glamourous and full of hidden depths? The Paint and Paper Library's Hunter Dunn could be the one for you, as seen in my dramatic hallway project.

If your answer is somewhere in between, then take a look at this gorgeous colour from The Little Greene Paint Company. Pleat, the relatively new colour from The Little Greene Paint Company, is one of my favourite greens, as it's rich and strong enough to really show off any finish you put with it - see how the marble, brass and walnut wood in the image contrast so well with the colour, and look richer because they are next to it?

But it's also a colour which is warm, and it's muted quality means that it doesn't overpower a space. This colour looks great with almost any other colour you'd like to put with it - charcoal grey, mustard yellow, or lime green, and it looks stunning paired with the pastel pinks of the moment. I really hope I get to use this colour in a design soon!
