Colours That Pair With Sheer

  • Deep green or navy - a sophisticated contrast next door.
  • Dark wood and leather - matches its richness.
  • Brass and gold - lifts the warmth.

Repeating a pairing across connected spaces ties the home together.

Lighting & Finish

Lighting: Sheer 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 red tones shift with the light through the day. Two thin coats give the most even result; save some paint for touch-ups in high-traffic spots.
