North-facing rooms often get bad press. They have a reputation for being cold, dark and gloomy. Whilst it is true that north-facing rooms tend to feel on the cooler side as they do not receive direct sunlight, that does not mean that they have to be uninviting. By applying some proven interior design tips and techniques, you can make the room feel warmer, friendlier and more welcoming.
Paint & Preparation
There are colours that simply decorate rooms, and then there are colours that define them. For 2026, we are delighted to unveil our Colour of the Year, Burlington Arcade™ No.216, a richly layered teal shade that reads as both classic and serene. Part heritage, part modern intervention, it is a hue that invites pause and awe in any space; inhabiting a quieter kind of comfort. Discover the inspiration and mood behind our Colour of the Year.
