Best Spaces for Paddlewheel Grey

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

• Narrow hallways and box rooms: light colours push the walls out and add a sense of space.
• Bedrooms: pale walls feel restful and make mornings a little easier.

Building a Palette With Paddlewheel Grey

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

• Crisp white - for a clean, layered look.
• Soft blue or sage - for a hint of colour.
• Warm wood - to stop it feeling cold.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Paddlewheel Grey keeps its crisp, cool look in daylight and turns a little softer under warm bulbs.

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 - cool neutral can look different at noon and by lamplight. A second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
