A darkened historic blue
Oval Room Blue is the most blackened of our blues, giving it a subtly aged feel. Named after the attractively shaped rooms of the late 18th century, it sits perfectly with our popular greys to create depth and balance in either a hall or a darker, cosier family room.

Beautiful rich blue
We decided to paint our bedroom in oval room blue.
We chose the modern emulsion, I love the colour options of farrow and ball but am always looking for a practical finish that can withstand kids and their mucky hands! Having used the modern emulsion in our kitchen dining area I was impressed with both the finish and the fact it stood up well to our busy household.
The paint went onto the walls beautifully and only really needed one coat with minor touching up in places. The finish is perfect and I love the sumptuous depth of colour. Our bedroom now feels like a beautiful retreat I can’t wait to escape to every evening! Thank you farrow and ball!

Oval Room Blue and Shaded White
I was unsure of the shades of these two colours but they were recommended together and I went with it.
Delighted I did as they are great. The room is light with big windows and and faces West. Some people have said on the reviews Shaded White is beige but here it is definitely pale gray. Somehow it feels like a warm shade too. The Oval Room Blue is darker than I anticipated but I do like it. Sometimes you need to be a bit bold, it brings the character of a room out. If you’re in doubt go for it, I think you will like the result.
I used a brush, old walls may appear flat, but often that is not the case and a roller gives patchy coverage.
