Fabulous real homes with ideas to steal.
You can't scroll through Instagram without seeing room after fabulous room painted in Farrow & Ball. The paint brand has become a social media sensation, and firm friend of every interior enthusiast who dreams of painting their kitchen in Sulking Room Pink, or creating a feature staircase with Hague Blue.
But how to land on the right colour when there are so many brilliant ones to choose from? What shade will complement the period of your home, or the wood floors you have laid? And how do you combine colours once you have settled on your favourite?
Here we look at 17 real homes that have used Farrow & Ball to create a unique and inspirational space...
One of the most famous Farrow & Ball blues, there are slight green/teal undertones to Hague Blue which always react well to natural light, so this is a great one for a bright hallway.

This is all-white kitchen that doesn't feel stark or clinical. Choosing warm tones is key here.
Walls: All White at Farrow & Ball
This colour has popped up in hundreds of Victorian conversions – it's one that modernises traditional architecture really well, and as you can see here, works brilliantly with black accents and those exposed wood floorboards.
This is a really brilliant option for a bedroom if you want something other than plain white. Mizzle has a touch of green, making it more palatable than a simple grey. Peach makes a great companion here.

If you use a lot of black and pink in your home, a bold green will complete your colour palette – a great trick here is painting the mirror frame in the same shade.
A masterclass in off-white, this is another great choice if your home is full of wood, antiques or brown tones in your furniture.

Always remember than your adjacent colours will impact how warm or cool your whites appear. Here Farrow & Ball's All White is warmed up next to those fabulous orange floor tiles.

Railings is a failsafe choice if you want a shock of dark colour in your home without using true black. Railings works wonderfully as in a gloss finish, too.

Another Insta-famous Farrow & Ball pink – Dead Salmon always works wonderfully in homes with Scandinavian design references; it warms those cool whites and greys perfectly.

Inchyra Blue is a real chameleon, and rarely looks the same from one room to the next. It usually reads quite blue, but as you can see here, it becomes a wonderful green/grey in some settings.
Wevet feels like a light wash of white, rather than a solid colour – Farrow & Ball describe it as almost translucent. It's a great choice to apply to ornate mouldings.

The light touch of grey in this Calamine pink prevents it from being too sugary. We love the contrast against the painted floorboards here.

What a wonderful choice of green to welcome you home and a clever effect here of extending the colour up the stairs and on to the wainscoting.
Alongside Sulking Room Pink, this fabulous Bancha colour pops up frequently in stylish Victorian conversions. It's another great choice if you have a lot of pink and black in your home.

Slipper Satin takes its name from the delicate colour of silk used in traditional ballet slippers – you can see how warm it is when compared to the truer white above.
One for the bold decorators, and what a lovely choice of green to use against the flash of brass in the door handles.
