Set your style
"The first step was finding the right accent colours to work with Whisper White, as well as connecting all the existing décor between the spaces," – Bree Leech, stylist.
Select your palette
The Cultivate palette evokes a sense of calm and connects us to nature. Green creates a soothing and relaxing environment for us to come home to. The great thing about this colour scheme is that it works effortlessly in both traditional and contemporary homes, and pairs perfectly with both warm and cool whites.
Wall
Whisper White
Whisper White lets you create a welcoming atmosphere in your home. As the most perfect ivory, it is a lush, warm white that works beautifully with most colour schemes inside and out in any style of home.
Keeping the upper portion of the walls and ceiling white helps to visually increase the ceiling height.
Focus on colour and accessories
For this home's living and dining space, we wanted to accentuate the natural light and invite freshness inside without making any drastic changes. An eye catching three-quarter feature wall and the addition of some textural accessories creates an appealing look without costing the earth.

There’s only one way to know if you’ve chosen the right colour for your space – and that’s by testing the paint first in your home with a sample pot. All of our colours are available to order in 100ml sample pots.
Inject unexpected colours such as eggplant and curd alongside warm timbers to add personality and fun to the Cultivate palette.
"To give the dining room its own distinct character, whilst maintaining a connection with the colours in the living room, we chose a soft yellow-green shade for the window wall and the kitchen bulkhead."
Create character and continuity
Select wall colours within the same palette to both connect and differentiate the rooms in your home. Striking tonal contrasts help to connect the spaces, while leafy plants establish a lush, layered effect.
A seamless transformation. How to get the look.
