Natural

The Natural collection brings together wall paints in shades inspired by raw materials: linen, clay, stone, sand, pale wood and softened greens. These calm hues are just as suited to renovating a period townhouse as to a contemporary apartment, and pair beautifully with parquet, brick, concrete or original mouldings. They are made for homeowners looking for a warm, timeless atmosphere, and for professionals who want to offer their clients an understated base that is easy to combine. Use them on the walls and ceilings of living areas, bedrooms or hallways, as a single solid colour or in tone-on-tone schemes. To choose well, start by considering the light in the room. A north-facing room, so common under our Belgian skies, feels softer with a warm-undertoned shade (rosy beige, light ochre). A very sunny room handles cooler or greyer hues better. Always test the colour on a large sample, in several spots on the wall, and look at it in the morning and evening before making up your mind. Think about the finish too: a deep matt brings out the richness of these tones, while an eggshell or satin finish better withstands heavy traffic in a kitchen, entrance hall or child's bedroom.
