Using Lemon Balm (2016) at Home

Lemon Balm (2016) is a light yellow shade - a light, easy tone that suits full walls in most rooms. Its warm undertone pairs best with warm whites and natural woods.

Best Rooms for Lemon Balm

  • Living rooms: keeps shared spaces open, bright and welcoming.
  • Kitchens and breakfast nooks: bright and sociable.
  • Bedrooms: calm and restful, and easy to wake up to.
  • Home offices: an even, bright backdrop that aids focus.
  • Hallways and small rooms: makes narrow or compact spaces feel larger.

What to Pair With Lemon Balm

Build a whole-home palette around Lemon Balm as a soft base to build on:

  • Pale wood and rattan - a relaxed, sunny feel.
  • Muted sage or teal - a calming counterpoint.
  • White and soft grey - keeps the brightness clean.

Carry one of these into adjoining rooms to keep the whole home feeling cohesive.

Lighting & Finish

Lighting: Lemon Balm glows under warm light and warms further in afternoon sun, while north light keeps it soft.

Finish: Matte in living rooms and bedrooms for a soft, premium feel; washable satin in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

Before You Paint

Paint a sample on two or three walls first, since yellow tones shift with the light through the day. It covers cleanly, but light walls show scuffs in busy areas, so keep a little paint aside for touch-ups.
