staircase at Ham House, while Drogo Yellow is inspired by yellow glazed bathroom tiles at Castle Drogo in Devon. As above, the paints are made using carefully selected pigments, minerals and resins so they provide exceptional depth of colour, light- fastness and durability. Considerable thought has gone into developing colours that will have (and have been proved to have) enduring appeal, rather than colours that are a reaction to trends. Again, all of the paint is minimal


VOC and it’s made in the UK. The range is available in hard


wearing emulsion (£32.50 for 2.5 litres) and in eggshell (£17.50 for 750ml). Increasingly, people are combining


paint with tiles and papers. All Fired Earth’s paints complement


their tile ranges, as well as the recently launched Ottoman wallpaper collection.
