What London Is Painting This Year
Every year brings subtle shifts in colour preferences, and 2026 is no exception. After years of grey dominance, London homeowners are embracing warmth, character, and quiet confidence in their colour choices.
Warm Neutrals Are King
Jitney by Farrow & Ball
This warm, sandy neutral has become our most-requested colour. It brings a sense of calm sophistication without the coldness of grey.Warm White by Little Greene
Not all whites are created equal. Warm White has just enough depth to avoid the clinical feeling of brilliant white.Bold Choices Making a Comeback
Deep Greens
Shades like Farrow & Ball's Studio Green and Little Greene's Obsidian Green are appearing in studies, dining rooms, and even bedrooms.Rich Blues
Hague Blue and Stiffkey Blue from Farrow & Ball continue to be popular for feature walls and front doors across Kensington and Chelsea.Colour Combinations We Love
- Kitchen: Jitney walls with Studio Green island units
- Bedroom: Peignoir walls with Wimborne White trim
- Hallway: Strong White with Railings on the front door
- Bathroom: Light Blue with Wimborne White woodwork
