Accent your Home with Colour

Painting a room is one of the easiest ways to totally change up the vibe of your home. We're not just talking about walls, either.Painting your cabinets, furniture, or even just adding a pop of colour here and there can make a huge difference. It's all about bringing some personality and life into your space.

Let's dive into some of our favourite bold accent colours from Farrow & Ball that are perfect for adding that extra something special.

Bancha: The Earthy Green

Bancha No. 298

This rich, earthy green is a total chill-out colour. It’s perfect for creating a cozy, natural feel in a reading nook or a bedroom suite. Imagine painting a single wall behind your headboard with Bancha, then pairing it with some creamy whites to keep things light and balanced. If you're not ready for a whole wall, try painting a nightstand or a set of decorative lamps to get a feel for the colour.

India Yellow: A Dose of Sunshine

India Yellow No. 66

Want to bring some sunshine indoors? India Yellow is the answer. This rich, happy yellow is amazing in kitchens or dining areas. A colour such as this can make your office space feel extra inspiring and cheerful. If you want something more subtle, think about painting some picture frames or a small stepping stool. For a real statement piece, try painting a kitchen island or a dining table—it'll be the centerpiece of the room!

Inchyra Blue: The Sophisticated Blue

Inchyra Blue No. 289

Inchyra Blue is a deep, moody blue that just screams sophistication. It’s great for creating a dramatic accent wall in a living room or bedroom. This colour makes a perfect backdrop for showing off your favourite artwork or photos. Pair it with some metallic accents or warm wood tones to make it feel extra luxurious. You can also use it on smaller pieces, like a coffee table or an accent chair, to tie your whole space together.

Broccoli Brown: The Cozy Brown

Broccoli Brown No. 198

Don’t let the name fool you—Broccoli Brown is a warm, inviting brown that feels like a big, soft hug. It’s perfect for entryways or family rooms. An accent wall in this colour will make any space feel instantly cozy and welcoming. To really make it shine, mix it with light colours and natural textures like linen or wicker. Even small touches, like painting a wardrobe or your baseboard trim, can bring a unified, welcoming feel to a room.

Etruscan Red: The Bold Red

Etruscan Red No.56

Ready to be bold? Etruscan Red is a fierce, passionate red that adds some serious drama. This colour is a showstopper for a dining room or living room accent wall, making the space feel intimate and full of life. To keep things from getting too intense, balance it out with some warm greys or creamy whites. Or, for a little taste of the colour, try it on the back of a china cabinet or even your baseboard heaters.
