Benefits of Using Warm Paint Colours

The ‘Sweet Treats’ palette aims to challenge the perception that brown shades are outdated. These hues bring an unrivalled sense of comfort, as well as creating an elegant and sophisticated space.  

From the deep Chocolate Colour and sumptuous Muscovado to the softer ochre-toned Galette and elegant warm stone, Split Pink, these cosy, versatile neutrals are perfect for creating captivating, indulgent and inviting spaces. 

You can use these warm neutrals in any space where you want to instil a real sense of cosiness – whether that is a restful bedroom sanctuary, a tranquil bathroom oasis or a comforting living room where you can relax at the end of the day. Their earthy yet refined nature makes them the perfect backdrop to natural materials, including wicker, rattan, jute, warm woods and stone finishes. 

Warm paint colours to use in your home

Embrace Bombolone for a homely kitchen setting

Kitchens are often seen as the place to use brighter colours that reflect fast-paced energy. But consider bringing a sense of homeliness and calm to your scheme with a warm neutral kitchen wall colour like Bombolone.

Soft golds and honey tones reflect the desire to create warmth within our homes. As such, richly coloured hues work well in both traditional family kitchens and more contemporary settings. Inspired by the signature Italian doughnuts, drench this classic shade across walls, woodwork and cabinetry to deliver a warm, comforting glow. 

Keep the scheme pared-back with the warm off-white, Stock, on the ceiling. Or for a colour highlight, introduce the deep Marine Blue or muted indigo, Woad

Create a rich dining backdrop with Galette

Warm dining room colours with deep, rich and earthy tones based on umber or ochre deliver cocooning, restful and charming spaces. With innate warmth, these neutral shades are the perfect choice to provide your scheme with a confident backdrop that makes a statement without being too bold. 

The mid-weight orange-brown, Galette, is both elegant and nurturing. Consider this shade to bring a sense of comfort to more formal areas such as dining rooms and spacious reception rooms. With its autumnal undertones, Galette is the ideal partner to natural materials such as oak and darker woods, as well as rustic wicker, rattan and stone.

Use Affogato for a cocooning living space

Living rooms – whether they are open-plan spaces or intimate snugs – are the perfect places to embrace cosy shades that invite you to relax and unwind. Warm living room colours with earthier neutral tones will deliver the calm and comforting scheme we crave, whilst also helping us feel connected to the natural world.

For an indulgent atmosphere in your living room, consider a rich deep caramel such as Affogato. Used all over, this neutral paint colour will create an intimate and cocooning scheme without feeling too heavy or imposing. Pair with the complementary neutral, Slaked Lime – Mid, on the ceiling rather than a bright white, to benefit from an uplift in tone.

Consider Chocolate Colour for a sumptuous bathroom

Rich, chocolate browns are perfect for creating restful schemes that envelop your space. These deep neutrals work as a wonderful alternative to cooler black, charcoal or dark blue hues. Instead, chocolate browns bring an atmosphere of calm and warmth. 

The darkest colour in the ‘Sweet Treats’ palette, Chocolate Colour is an almost edible shade of sumptuous dark brown. It is wonderfully evocative when colour drenched across all four walls for a cocooning, wraparound effect. 

Chocolate Colour will deliver a real sense of luxury in your primary bathroom, creating a relaxing haven that feels truly indulgent. To soften the scheme, accompany this paint colour with Rolling Fog – Dark on the bath or woodwork. Use complementary wood finishes and gold accents for a harmonious finish.
