Best Spaces for Blush

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.

• Bedrooms: pale walls feel restful and make mornings a little easier.

What Goes With Blush

Planning colours across the home? Treat Blush as a base to build the rest of the palette on and add:

• Teal or petrol blue - for a striking contrast.
• Warm white and cream - to soften the intensity.
• Charcoal - for a modern edge.

Threading one pairing from space to space keeps everything looking deliberate.

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Blush warms up under lamps and afternoon sun, and stays soft and light in north-facing rooms.

Best finish: A matt finish looks smooth and modern in living rooms and bedrooms; use a washable soft-sheen in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

Worth Knowing

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as orange shifts with the light in a room. A second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
