Best Spaces for Parchment

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Breakfast rooms and kitchens: yellow keeps morning spaces bright and cheerful.
• 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 Parchment

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

• Soft blue or sage - as a cool balance.
• Grey or charcoal - for a smart contrast.
• Pale wood - for a sunny, natural feel.

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: Parchment 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 yellow shifts with the light in a room. Pale tones cover easily; just keep a little paint back for scuffs in busy spots.
