Popular paint colours and wallpaper for 2009

Channel 4 have put together details of the popular paint colours in 2009; the key idea they had was that this year we will see understated room schemes inspired by nature. So at Little Greene, we’ve put together a selection of our neutral shades, and wallpapers with elements of the natural world.

“Inspired by nature needn’t mean no colour in a living room – choose between anything from deep dark browns to rich ochres, mustard yellows, pale greens and blues.”

We have many traditional wallpapers which have influences from nature for example China Rose in Sage, Camellia in Calico from the oriental wallpapers range, and Broadwick Street in Apple, which is influenced by botanical diagrams.

China Rose

Pale Ivory

Stone and Charcoal

In our paint range, we have some very soft neutral shades:

The creamy colour that results from grinding lead carbonate with boiled linseed oil. Perfectly suited to the exterior of original sash windows

Lead White

The very pale extraction of Victorian Light Gold-creates a welcoming and tasteful kitchen without brightness

French Stone

A stronger and richer cream than Creamerie (No.42) using less umber in the combination

Jersey Cream

Along with some striking naturally inspired paint colours:

Another common Georgian colour which once graced the London residence of composer George Frederick Handel

Lead Colour

Aquamarine

Ashes of Roses

Light Gold

Echo

Dark Bronze Green
