This simple and elegant master bedroom by Pendle Property Design shows just how beautiful Dimity works with earthy neutral green tones. Combining the green panel boards and black and white accessories really lifts this gorgeous Farrow and Ball shade. I particularly like the use of the rose gold frames, which add a pop of colour but still tie in with the colour scheme really well.

How adorable is this nursery? I just love it! The lovely neutral tones mixed with the different textures of the wicker baskets and canvas teepee tent gives this playroom a beautiful bohemian vibe which is still homely and cosy. I love how the subtle touches of pink accessories bring out the warm depth of this Farrow and Ball colour.

Here we can see how Dimity looks simply stunning when used in a nursery. Particularly when it is used in a colour palette of other neutral tones of cream, beige, and brown such as Bed and Matt from Our Lydegreen Home have done. I love the colour palette here. They all work in perfect unison with each other creating an enchanting atmosphere. The warm natural hues in Dimity make it a perfect choice when styling nurseries. Its mellow tones will create a calming atmosphere for your newborn. This timeless base can then be easily styled with different accessories as your child grows. I think you will agree that this nursery set up looks gorgeous.

Sobro Studio Surfaces have done a superb job with this bathroom design. Dimity, being a natural pale taupe coloured paint, is a shade that works gloriously alongside other organic shades such as the ones which make up the delightful pattern on these floor tiles – which I just love!

The black trimmed glass shower screen makes a bold statement. This works wonderfully in this ensemble adding a touch of stylish glamour. The gold taps and towel rail are the perfect finishing touches giving that final sprinkle of sophistication.

Oh isn’t this the bathroom of dreams! So charming, yet, so sophisticated. That bathtub is just divine. I can’t think of a better place to unwind after a long day than in this bathroom.

The dark wooden flooring contrasts beautifully against the light neutral hues on the panelled walls and bathtub which are highlighted by the glow of the light beaming in through the large window. I love bathrooms with panelled walls! As you can see, it really adds a touch of elegance to the elegance of this setup.

I also love the gorgeous leafy plant in the corner of the room. I find the use of plants always helps create a welcoming, relaxed vibe and leafy greens seem to work superbly with Dimity.

I adore the use of Dimity on the kitchen cabinets here. It really draws you in. The golden vintage door handles against the smooth Dimity cupboard doors look so stunning. They add the perfect amount of old-school elegance to the contemporary styling.

The white Zellige tiles add plenty of texture and a touch of charm to this fairly modern kitchen, with the white textured surface helping to keep the space light and bright.

What a cosy corner! The Dimity on the walls keeps the room looking light and bright but gives the room a warm depth. This adds to the homely feel that Sarah from Home At 261 has curated here.

I love the way they have tied the colour scheme together beautifully with the clever use of accessories and accent pieces. The hint of burgundy in the elegant French-style Louie chair, helps bring out the essence of red in this pale taupe shade from Farrow and Ball and adds a splash of colour and sophistication to the room. The cosy blankets and pillows with the beige and burgundy hues add to the inviting vibe. This shows that the clever use of the simplest accessories can really make all the difference to your space.

I just love this bedroom designed by Siobhan Doherty from @home__stead. The gorgeous Dimity painted walls look fabulous in traditional bedroom, and this is a great example of how pink Dimity can look in certain lights. I simply adore the vintage school desk! It looks fantastic and adds such charm and character to the space.

I also love how the brightly coloured legs of the chair pop gloriously against the neutral walls. The quirky light-up duck is a nice touch, too. It is certainly an eye-catching feature, but it works really well and adds a playful charm to the room, which goes hand in hand with the red jester artwork on the wall.

This image shows another gorgeous colour scheme with the use of Farrow and Ball Dimity contrasting with a bold colour choice. It contrasts beautifully with the dark coloured sofa—a nod to not shy away from using bold dark colours when using this Farrow and Ball shade. The contrast seems to really make this colour pop and show off its unique depth. The use of the light-coloured throw cushions tie the colour scheme together nicely. This creates a homely feel which may have been lost without them.

What Colours Go With Farrow and Ball Dimity?

Dimity is certainly a shade that is made for versatility. Being a natural tone, these colours do ‘naturally’ work best, but a splash of colour can work in perfect harmony with the shade too. It looks superb in both rustic bohemian stylings and equally as gorgeous in contemporary, or period homes. Below are a few of my recommended colour schemes depending on your interior design preferences.

Let’s start with white. If you’re looking for the perfect white to go with Dimity, you can’t go wrong with All White. This pure white is great for using on ceilings, trim, and woodwork, allowing the warm tones of Dimity to take center stage.

If a more organic and bohemian vibe is what you are looking to create, then try pairing Dimity with Oxford Stone. These neutral tones work in perfect balance with each other and would look great with rustic wooden shelving or bed frames.

If you are looking to create a neutral look with a splash of colour in your setting then try pairing Dimity with Red Earth. The bold shade of Red Earth would look glorious as a feature wall against Dimity walls, creating a strong but cosmopolitan look.

If you are looking for a dark accent colour to pair with Dimity, try Railings. Together these two colours create a contemporary look that will work well in living rooms and kitchens.

Is Farrow and Ball Dimity a Warm or Cool Colour?

Dimity is a warm neutral, with red undertones. This makes it the perfect choice for any room if your home that you want to feel bright, but still and welcoming.
