COLOUR COLLECTION No.2

Our second range of colours draw inspiration from the linoleum corridors and the wallpapered parlours, breakfast rooms and nurseries of an imagined 18th century home. At the same time we’ve given a nod to the municipal buildings of the same period; the town halls, schools and institutions. Grave, dignified buildings, honestly engineered, and severely but handsomely decorated with restraint and gravitas. This collection was put together by Adam Bray & Sue Skeen.
