Edwardian Paint Colours

Edwardian homes turned away from the dark, heavy schemes of the Victorians and let the light in. Think fresh creams and ivories, soft sage and olive greens, duck egg and Wedgwood blues, dusty pinks and gentle lilacs, with deeper greens and reds saved for front doors and woodwork. Our deep Gables Green is the classic Victorian green paint that Edwardian decorators kept for joinery and front doors, and if you want to go richer still, our Victorian Paint Colours embrace those deeper shades. I've picked 35 paint colours from our Graphenstone and Earthborn ranges that capture that lighter, airier feel.

Most Edwardian houses were built with lime plaster, so they need paint that lets the walls breathe. Every colour here is available in a natural, breathable paint, which is exactly what a period home wants. If you're not sure why that matters, my guide to lime plaster in old houses explains it.

The Graphenstone shades come in Grafclean Emulsion Ultra Matt for walls and ceilings and Grafclean Eggshell for woodwork and trim. GCS Interior Lime Emulsion and GCS Exterior are another good choice, a true lime paint for interior walls and exterior masonry. The Earthborn shades come in their wonderfully chalky Claypaint. Try before you commit with peel and stick swatches and sample pots.
