Hand Painted Kitchen

Hand painting this kitchen in Glusburn, West Yorkshire enhanced the look and protected it for many years to come. The monochrome colour scheme creates a backdrop allowing the customer to create different themes using soft decorations, such as tea towels, flowers and placemats and different colour appliances.  

Farrow and ball have, for a long time, created elegant and timeless tones. From bold colours to make a statement all the way to more subtle and subdue tones, creating a calming and minimalistic look. The colours chosen in this hand painted kitchen were mole’s breath #276 strong white #2001 and purbeck stone #275

The description given by Farrow and Ball for mole’s breath is A moody grey

A timeless grey whose name takes its roots from the much loved Elephant's Breath, this moody hue is inspired by a smaller, furrier animal. Mole's Breath is the most versatile of our stronger accents as it can be used both with Easy Neutrals like Purbeck Stone and Contemporary Neutrals like Strong White. It is particularly effective to ground kitchen islands and when used on the walls of smaller spaces to create a fabulously sullen yet warm room

The description given by Farrow and Ball for strong white is A grey based white

This cool white is both strong by name and strong by nature. One of our Contemporary Neutrals, the subtle urban feel of its light grey undertones add a contemporary twist to period homes, while staying in keeping with modern properties. Pair with Skimming Stone, Elephant’s Breath and All White in any combination for an effortlessly cohesive scheme.

The description given by Farrow and Ball for purbeck stone is An understated stone grey

Purbeck Stone is a clean and understated mid grey that resembles the colour of stone found on the Isle of Purbeck, close to our home here in Dorset. Purbeck Stone is the strongest of our Easy Neutrals, sitting contentedly as part of a calming scheme with Cornforth White, Wevet and Ammonite in homes both old and new.
