Blue skies and sunshine always lift the mood, and often, certain spaces in our homes need a little lift too. And with one of our 12 new colours, Avery’s Sky, you’re invited to drift into a perfectly peaceful moment. This delicate blue promotes calmness and focus, making it a brilliant option for home offices, nurseries, and bedrooms (although we’ve yet to see it in a space we don’t love!)
Want to create a more relaxed, refreshed feel at home? We’ve got just the colour pairings and inspiration to get your mood board started.
Natural light can have a big impact on how colours appear, so it’s important to consider your room’s orientation when decorating. It’s an opportunity to work with the space and make the most of its natural qualities. Avery’s Sky is particularly well suited to north-facing rooms, as its delicate undertones help brighten areas that tend to be darker due to limited natural sunlight.
With such a beautiful, uplifting shade, it can feel tricky to pair, but we’ve made it easy by selecting a few colours that enhance its soothing feel and bring a sense of clarity to the space.
Avery’s Sky, Bunny Hop, Donkey Ride and Crocky Road: If you’re looking for a contrasting colour to pair with Avery’s Sky, we suggest exploring Bunny Hop, Donkey Ride and Crocky Road. The steady tones of Donkey Ride, the earthy feel of Crocky Road, and the soft taupe of Bunny Hop with its subtle pink undertone all work beautifully with Avery’s Sky, adding depth to this delicate blue. This colour scheme is ideal for an open-plan living area, keeping the space visually interesting while still feeling calm and cohesive.
Avery’s Sky and Flora’s Tale: This soft, dreamy colour palette is perfect for a little girl’s room. The dusky pink of Flora’s Tale offers a lovely balance to this soft blue. Add in floral touches and a hint of lace, and the space will be ready for fairytales.
Avery’s Sky and Ballet Shoe (or Delilah for a wow factor): If you’re a maximalist at heart and looking for a colour scheme that turns heads or adds an unexpected pop of colour, pairing with Ballet Shoe or Delilah is the way to go. The pinky cream of Ballet Shoe enhances the sense of a soothing space, while the coral tones in Delilah bring real impact (and work beautifully in smaller spaces too).
Avery’s Sky with Cat’s Cradle or Gregory’s Den: Pair Avery’s Sky with Gregory’s Den or Cat’s Cradle for a tonal, minimalist scheme. The soft, greenish grey tones of Gregory’s Den create a soothing feel alongside Avery’s Sky’s delicate blue. When paired with Cat’s Cradle, Avery’s Sky brings a refined, sophisticated touch to the room.
We love to see colour drenched from the skirting to the ceiling, and Avery’s Sky is the perfect shade to cover every inch of your room in with a delicate, calming colour that demands focus. It’s also available in all of our finishes, so you can paint walls, ceilings, skirting boards and even the kitchen cabinets!
Order a painted swatch or a 100ml sample pot to see how Avery’s Sky looks in your space before you pick up your paintbrush.
