Lavender

Within the High-end Paint range, Lavender carries an undertone that doesn't pick a side and lilac-grey undertones — softly floral in overall character. Sits beautifully with terracotta, sun-bleached timber and unglazed ceramic. The natural home for Lavender is dressing rooms — and increasingly ensuites. Soft enough to be a backdrop, defined enough to be a choice. Owes a small debt to Provençal, but doesn't ask the rest of the room to follow.

FAQs about Lavender

Questions clients ask about this shade

Does Lavender hold up in north-facing rooms?+

What sheen options come in Lavender?+

Lavender is tinted into your choice of dead-matt, soft eggshell or low-sheen satin. For rooms with high handling — hallways, kitchens — we'd usually recommend eggshell.

What does Lavender pair with from your range?+

We most often pair Lavender with the three closest shades in its family — see the pairings panel below. Beyond that, it softens against warm whites, oak, linen, and aged brass.
