Paint & Paper Library: Unveiling Luxury for Your Walls
Discerning homeowners seeking to elevate their interiors often find themselves drawn towards Paint & Paper Library’s paint and wallpaper collections. However, this prestigious British brand isn’t just about paint and wallpaper; it’s about an experience – a journey into the world of colour, quality and timeless style and design.
Paint & Paper Library’s Paint Range: A Legacy of Exquisite Colour
Established with a focus on reviving the beauty of historical paints, Paint & Paper Library boasts a rich heritage. Their meticulous research and dedication to quality ensure their colours are authentic and formulated with the finest ingredients. From colours inspired by classical art to shades reflecting contemporary trends, their unique palette offers something for every vision.
Paint & Paper Library’s Architectural Collections: A Symphony of Colour Collections
Paint & Paper Library offers a collection of colours called “Architectural Colours”, designed specifically to bring a subtle depth to neutral interior design schemes. This palette features 95 gradations of colour, including gentle light tones and restful neutrals. The colours are grouped into 19 families, with each family containing five shades of increasing intensity (numbered I to V). This structure allows for easy creation of harmonious colour schemes. You can achieve a soft, coordinated feel by using colours from the same family, or create a more dramatic effect by combining lighter and darker shades from different families.
Paint & Paper Library’s architectural colours are the perfect companions to their bolder “Original Colours.” The Architectural Colours provide a foundation of subtle neutrals, enabling the Original Colours from the portfolio, with their rich pigments and personality, to truly shine. You can create a cohesive look by pairing a deep green Original Colour with a lighter shade from its corresponding Architectural family, or use contrasting colours from different families for a more dynamic space.
