A room begins
with a colour.

Hold one in mind. Put another beside it.
See what happens in between.

Choose two glazes for your room
The sample counter. No two edges quite alike.

The space
between two colours.

One can be the whole wall. The other, the smallest detail. Your pairing is a starting point.

Keep these in my envelope

Oxide & Chalk

Choose any two from the counter. A third replaces the first.

A little
good company.

Some colours bring out the best in each other. Start with a warm meeting, a softer contrast, or a little depth.

Colour on a screen is a suggestion. A physical sample, in your room’s light, is the useful next step.

And then,
there’s the room.

A colour becomes a surface. Reflections, grout and the materials beside it change the conversation.

Build a little
material world.

Keep your pairing beside a quiet stone, a warm timber, and the joint that brings it together.

An illustrative colour study. Always check a real sample in your own light.

Colour is only
half the story.

Take a moment with the surface. The small things are the things you’ll live with.

Look at the light

Turn a sample towards the window, then away. A glaze can be soft one moment and full of reflection the next. Check it in daylight and under your room lighting.

Feel the finish

Gloss, texture and variation all shape a surface. A physical sample helps you describe what you like. Suitability and care still need to be checked for your project.

Think about the meeting points

Bring corners, shelves, outlets and adjoining materials into the conversation. The edge, grout and joint rhythm deserve a place in the palette.

Leave room for variation

Look at more than one piece. Glaze and texture may vary across a surface; supplier details, availability and the final specification need a separate check.

Let’s put a room
around your palette.

A few colours. A little context.
Enough to start a useful conversation.
