The project in detail
New builds can sometimes feel a little anonymous straight out of the box, all brilliant white walls and builder's emulsion. This project is a good example of how a single well-chosen colour can completely change that, without a full room redecoration. The scope here was walls only, ceiling and woodwork were not included. We introduced a deep, confident navy blue as a feature wall in Benjamin Moore Regal, creating an instant focal point and giving the space a real sense of identity and character. The remaining walls were kept in their existing neutral tone to ensure the room stayed bright and balanced, with the feature wall doing all the talking. The contrast between the deep feature colour and the lighter surrounds creates a sophisticated, layered feel that's a world away from the standard new build finish, achieved with a straightforward, well-executed single-wall treatment.
