If you love upcycled furniture and you want to make a conscious effort to shop secondhand instead of buying new, then you’ll want to know all about Farrow & Ball's new collaboration with online pre-owned furniture marketplace, Vinterior.
This partnership has resulted in a limited edition capsule collection of vintage pre-owned furniture, covering everything from art deco and traditional farmhouse designs, through to more contemporary pieces – and each one has been updated using Farrow & Ball paint.
Available to buy right now, the collaboration sees three Vinterior sellers — Pato Interiors, Belton & Butler and Chloe Kempster — use the new Farrow & Ball colours, which launched last autumn, to breathe new life into vintage pieces.
Both Vinterior and Farrow & Ball hope to inspire people to try upcycling themselves, and it comes at a particularly relevant time.
'With the rising cost of living impacting many of us, buying new pieces of furniture may not be a top priority,' says Patrick O’Donnell, Brand Ambassador for Farrow & Ball. 'So, get creative and consider how to turn unloved pieces in your home to something more beautiful and fun with a little bit of paint (even better if it's some left over from a previous DIY project) and a few hours.'
Whether you opt for a deep blue or a calming green, you can instantly refresh and rejuvenate a piece of furniture that already has some great history, giving it a new chapter and lease of life in your space. Plus, this means your newly upcycled piece will be completely unique in your home.
'We've seen a lot of interest in upcycled items in the past six months, it's almost as popular as mid-century design now. Whether you're upcycling yourself or choosing a pre-owned piece which has already been restored, we see this movement continuing to grow. It's not only a better choice for the planet but often a more economical one as well,' says Vinterior Brand Director, Lucy Ward.
The Farrow & Ball x Vinterior collection is available now.

Bamboozle No.304

This warm neutral with an underlying grey is a lighter version of sandy Jitney. It's perfect for creating a relaxed feel.
Selvedge No.306
A lighter version of De Nimes, this is a down to earth and grounding blue that can be used on anything from a kitchen island to an airy drawing room.
Tailor Tack No.302
The lightest and most delicate of F&B's pinks, this charming colour is strong in character and has enough colour contrast with white. Pair with vintage finds or industrial accents.
Whirlybird No.309
A lively green, this is a softer version of Breakfast Room Green, and looks particularly lively in morning light.
Wine Dark No.308
A rich, dark blue inspired by midnight skies. In low light, Wine Dark becomes even richer, making it particularly glamorous in candlelight and perfect for intimate spaces.
