Walls and Floors: The Autumn Edit 2024

As the leaves start to fall and the air begins to crisp, we turn our attention to creating cosy settings to enjoy our time at home.

Choosing the right colour palette is key to achieving this and here are 6 cosy palettes from some of our favourite paint brands, with complementary shades from our flooring portfolio, to create cosy schemes you will be more than happy to hibernate in for the coming months.

Moody Elegance

For those who love the richness and depth that autumn brings, a dark and moody interior might be your style. Gumption by Coat Paint offers a deep, sophisticated tone, while Mindful adds a layer of calm, creating a space that feels inviting yet luxurious.

NTP54 Naked Oak Parquet balances the darker tone of the walls with a light, natural oak finish, and subtle grain patterns creating a modern and timeless aesthetic in equal measure.

Farmhouse Calm

If you resonate with a more rustic and organic feel, the farmhouse aesthetic is a calming and cosy choice. Beige 02 Soho Farmhouse and Greige 02 Soho Warehouse by Lick are soft, neutral tones that evoke a sense of tranquillity synonymous with rural life. 

NT49 Blonde Oak enhances this calming palette with its distressed wood tones. The knots and textures of this LVT flooring mimic real oak, adding to the rustic feel to the space.

The beauty of this aesthetic lies in the thoughtful layering of varied shades and textures, and the celebration of subtle imperfections.

Rich and Earthy 

Orange is the ultimate autumnal hue embodying warmth and cosiness at its core. Pair together Orange 02  by Lick, a rich hue reminiscent of autumnal leaves, with Grey 02  to add a modern edge, grounding the palette with its neutral undertones.

To tie these shades together, NS65 Urban Concrete makes the perfect base. The concrete effect adds an element of simplicity to the boldness of the orange, creating a balanced and inviting atmosphere.
