Teal & Ochre - Scheme of the Week

We love a good paint colour and to say that we have a few tester pots here is an understatement. We love looking at which paints work well with our fabrics so that we can swiftly advise you as to how to combine your fabrics with paint and put together a scheme that you love in your own home.

This week’s scheme is centred around Farrow & Ball’s Selvedge. As one of their newer colours launched last year, it’s a slightly newer take on a teal-blue. It’s got just the right amount of dulled down colour level to make it so versatile, it works in any room.

Our scheme picks out the teal tones of Selvedge alongside our Teals and contrasts beautifully, lifting the scheme, with our Ochre printed linens. We love this scheme for a bedroom or kitchen in particular.

With curtains or blinds in the stripes for a kitchen and for a bedroom you might prefer to contrast the walls with our Whirlwind Yellow Ochre or Putsborough Cowparsley fabric. It’s a fresh scheme for spring but also works well through to autumn and winter but balancing the darker and lighter colour levels.

We suggest choosing three to five of these fabrics. Use one as your hero fabric that will be your curtains or main feature in the room and add the others as perhaps scatter cushions or an upholstered accent chair, headboard or footstool.
