Best Spaces for Gentle Touch

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Ceilings, trims and small rooms: an off-white keeps everything bright, clean and airy.
• Narrow hallways and box rooms: light colours push the walls out and add a sense of space.
• Kitchens and dining areas: a fresh, clean tone suits spaces where you cook and eat.

Building a Palette With Gentle Touch

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

• Soft grey and greige - for a little subtle depth.
• Natural wood - to add warmth.
• Black accents - for a crisp, modern edge.

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: Gentle Touch 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.

Before You Start

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