Farrow & Ball IN SOLIHULL

Farrow & Ball have turned the practice of decorating into an art form and their iconic ranges of paint and handmade wallpaper are unrivalled in the marketplace.

The quality of their unique product is stunning. The depth of pigments in the wide ranging colour palette reflects and absorbs the light throughout the changing hours of the day, something other paint companies strive to copy and sadly fail.

Fans of the paint can chat for hours about the quirkily named colours such as Elephant’s Breath, Mizzle and Mouse’s Back. The new range has the addition of the most delicate pink named after the sewing tacks used in Haute Couture. I am a particular fan of Hague Blue but don’t get me started.

The small collection of stunning wallpaper literally begs to be hung in any space you can find. Handmade using traditional block printing in their own paint allows you to extend your creative designs from door to floor to wall, trust me it’s addictive. The traditional styles such as Wisteria and Bumble Bee have now been joined by new exciting metallic finishes to drool over.

Solihull has a wonderful Farrow & Ball showroom on Mill Lane (near to Liv’s and Loaf, make a day of it!) where you can chat with the dynamic and knowledgeable team, who will steer you in the right direction and inspire you with their advice. Have a quiet word with your credit card before you go, it may feel the heat, but trust me it’s worth it.
