Rooms That Suit Vanilla Chai

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

• Bedrooms: pale walls feel restful and make mornings a little easier.
• Study and work corners: an even, bright wall keeps a workspace feeling open.

What Goes With Vanilla Chai

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

• Natural oak and linen - to add warmth and texture.
• Muted green or blue - for a gentle colour lift.
• White and ivory - for a soft, layered neutral.

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: Vanilla Chai 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

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as warm neutral shifts with the light in a room. Pale tones cover easily; just keep a little paint back for scuffs in busy spots.
