This serene and calming bedroom exemplifies the beauty of Farrow & Ball’s Wimborne White. The paint has been used on the walls to create a soft and inviting atmosphere. The paint’s delicate warmth is highlighted by the room’s natural light, streaming in through large windows framed in natural wood. The exposed wooden beams on the ceiling echo the natural wood tones of the window frames. This has added a rustic touch to this otherwise modern and minimalist space.
The design showcases a harmonious balance of textures—soft fabrics, cosy pillows, and the light beige headboard combine effortlessly with the neutral wall colour to evoke a sense of tranquillity. Wimborne White serves as a perfect backdrop, amplifying the room’s brightness while subtly complementing the various organic elements.
A built-in window seat invites relaxation, with plush cushions that add an extra layer of comfort to the space. The soothing, muted tones of the bedding and decor, along with the neutral palette, enhance the room’s peaceful ambiance. This bedroom is a great example of how Wimborne White can transform a space into a calming retreat. Simplicity and comfort reign supreme.
Rustic Kitchen in Wimborne White

I’m in love with this gorgeous rustic kitchen painted in Wimborne white with dark accents on the base of the kitchen island, splashbacks, and pendant lights. Unlike harsher whites, Wimborne White’s creamy warmth perfectly complements the natural elements in this kitchen without feeling stark or cold.
The exposed wooden beams on the ceiling and the wooden bar stools with woven seats create a rustic contrast with the modern, sleek cabinetry and marble countertops. These natural, earthy tones pair harmoniously with Wimborne White. The walls act as a neutral backdrop, allowing these rich textures and materials to stand out.
The kitchen island’s darker finish anchors the room. It brings in a sense of depth and contrast against the lighter walls and floors. The lighting fixtures, with their industrial vintage charm, further enhance the overall design. This creates a wonderful balance between old and new styles.

This striking and modern kitchen-dining area features a sophisticated colour palette of Farrow & Ball’s Wimborne White and French Grey. The soft, creamy tones of Wimborne White grace the arched walls and ceiling, providing a clean and airy backdrop that enhances the natural light and the architectural details of the room. The use of arches and curves in the design lends a sense of elegance, while the bright, neutral colour makes the space feel open and expansive.
French Grey adds depth and contrast, particularly on the cabinetry and the subtle panelling. This muted, earthy tone perfectly balances the lightness of Wimborne White. The blend of these two colours creates a seamless harmony between the crisp modern elements and the more traditional materials, such as the warm wood floors and furniture.
This design is a wonderful example of how Wimborne White and French Grey can work together to create a modern, timeless space that feels both fresh and cosy. The soft contrast between the colours accentuates the architectural features while maintaining a warm and welcoming ambiance, ideal for those looking to blend classic style with contemporary design.
