Three summer schemes…

Outdoor dining area with walls painted in aubergine shade 'Córdoba' with a wooden dining table and white chairs to the left.

Córdoba Exterior Dining

Dark, sumptuous hues work fabulously for an al fresco dining scheme with design impact. Paint outside walls in our deep aubergine, Córdoba, to provide a bold backdrop and deliver a sophisticated, contemporary feel.

Front door painted in bright yellow 'Mister David' with two trees and a bike under pillars.

Mister David Door

Your front door is a wonderful place to introduce bright, joyful shades that reflect your personal style. A cheerful yellow like Mister David adds a burst of sunshine to enliven the outside of your home.

Bold dining area featuring mural garden wallpaper 'Castle Garden - Pale Lime' with a spacious dining table and panelled glass ceiling.

Castle Garden Dining Space

Consider introducing lively, botanical prints in vibrant colourways to bring an uplifting air of summer to your dining space or living area. Castle Garden creates instant connection with the natural world, providing an inspiring backdrop for relaxed, social gatherings.

Embrace bold and joyful colours…

Bring the warmth of the summer sun into your schemes with shades that reflect a sense of joy and positivity.

Mood-boosting yellows that exude vibrancy are perfect for adding a beautiful colour highlight to interior and exterior living spaces. Or draw inspiration from inviting Mediterranean settings with chalky terracotta reds and sumptuous blues.

Consider using greens with warm, yellow undertones to evoke a feeling of the outdoors. Rich, verdant hues like Jewel Beetle, Hopper and Olive Colour will blend in with natural foliage, flowers and greenery to expand your outside living space.

Create a calming, relaxed atmosphere…

A palette of gentle, contemporary hues will create a cool and peaceful spot where you can relax in the shade.

Consider soft pastel greens, pinks and yellows that reflect light to complement warm, south-facing areas that are bathed in the summer sunshine.

Pair light blue with white for a classic colour combination that achieves a relaxed, coastal look – ideal for an al fresco dining area. Celestial Blue is one of our oldest and most-loved paint colours that sits comfortably in both traditional and contemporary schemes.
