Farrow & Ball is renowned for its strong catalog of paints across the color wheel, but not all of them work for every room. As with every brand, you need to think carefully when selecting paints, and many homeowners forget to consider the direction their room faces, and therefore how much natural light enters the space. A south-facing room gets more light, meaning you can have fun with moodier and darker colors without running the risk of a gloomy space. But a north-facing room can feel colder because they are sheltered from the sun and positioned in the shade.
Even if you do have larger windows, it can leave your room feeling tinged with blue. So what are the best colors for a north-facing room that suffers from a lack of light? Do you go dark to embrace the coziness, or counter that blue tone with a warmer shade? We've spoken to the team at Farrow & Ball to help you narrow down those paint color ideas.
