Using Paint To Shape Atmosphere

Homes & Gardens feature highlighting a Kinder Design residential interior project showcasing Little Greene paint colours, layered contemporary interiors and warm natural materials within a South London family home.

We’re delighted to be featured in Homes & Gardens’ latest roundup of the best-loved Little Greene paint colours - a go-to guide for anyone navigating the beautiful (and sometimes overwhelming) world of colour.


As an interior designer, colour is one of the most impactful and personal tools we work with. In the article, we shared three of our all-time favourite shades from the Little Greene palette - colours that we’ve come back to again and again in our projects.

Creating A Home That Feels Personal With Paint

For our Victorian Terrace Peckham project, we used Middle Buff, a rich, orange-brown tone that brings depth and warmth, alongside Pea Green, a joyful shade that’s both classic and contemporary. In our own home, The Gin Distillery project, we used Slaked Lime throughout - it’s the crispest, cleanest white we’ve found, and has become a quiet essential in our studio’s colour library.

As interior designers, we spend a huge amount of time researching and testing paint colours to ensure they not only look beautiful but feel right in the space - responding to light, architecture and atmosphere. While Little Greene is a regular feature in our sourcing, we also love working with Paint & Paper Library, Mylands, Edward Bulmer, Argile and Atelier Ellis. Each brand brings something different in tone, depth and environmental credentials.

It was lovely to see the project featured in Homes & Gardens and included within their wider conversation around timeless paint colours and creating interiors with warmth and longevity.
