What Goes With Candy Stripe

For a whole-home look, use Candy Stripe as a base to build the rest of the palette on and bring in:

• Deep green or navy - for a confident contrast.
• Warm white and cream - to give the eye somewhere to rest.
• Soft grey - for a calm, modern pairing.

A shared accent between two rooms is an easy way to make the whole home feel considered.

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Candy Stripe 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

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - pink can look different at noon and by lamplight. Pale tones cover easily; just keep a little paint back for scuffs in busy spots.
