Lounge in Ex Libris

Cole & Son show Ex Libris in a lounge.

Cole & Son’s own room, and their paper. We picked the paints to match the colours in it: Mylands, Little Greene and Farrow & Ball.

  • Walls
  • Woodwork
  • Accent

Roughly the proportions we’d use: most of the room in one colour, a third of it in the woodwork, and about a tenth of it brave.

Walls

Millbank

Mylands

Picks up the paper’s ground, a shade lighter so the pattern still leads.

Woodwork

Elysian Yellow

Little Greene · No. 356

Taken out of the pattern itself, not off the wall: skirting, doors and panelling.

Accent

Radicchio

Farrow & Ball · No. 96

Lifted straight out of the pattern. One chair, one door, no more.

Ask us about it

The room and the paper are the brand’s. We picked the paints to match the colours in the paper — so printing, lighting and your screen have all had a go at them before you see them. Treat them as a shortlist worth sampling rather than a decision, and bring the paper and a sample pot together in the room, in daylight, before you commit.

See It In Person

Photographs never do a paper justice

The sample book for Ex Libris is on the shelf, and the Brush Boards are on the wall. Come and hold them together at 41 Bridge Street, Godalming.
