Best Spaces for Operafest

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• Bathrooms and en-suites: blue brings a clean, fresh, spa-like feel to tiled rooms.
• Bedrooms: enough colour to feel cosy, still calm enough to relax in.
• Dining rooms: a grounded tone makes meals feel warm and settled.

Building a Palette With Operafest

For a whole-home look, use Operafest as a flexible base or a feature and bring in:

• Mustard or tan accents - for a pop of warm contrast.
• Natural oak or walnut - to warm up the cool tone.
• Soft grey - for a calm, tonal scheme through the home.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Operafest stays cool and steady in daylight, warming slightly under lamps in the evening.

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 - blue can look different at noon and by lamplight. Over a tinted primer, a mid-tone builds to full colour in two coats.
