Joa Studholme House Tour (2024)

Walls: Setting Plaster No.231 in Dead Flat

Walls: Setting Plaster No.231 in Dead Flat

In the space that links new and old, the walls are painted top to bottom in Setting Plaster. As the space is flooded with light, Joa wanted to find a colour that would feel warm in the summer and cosy in the winter.

She settled on Setting Plaster, not only because of its warmth but also because it complements the stone used on the exterior of the main house.

The lower section of the hallway leads to two guest bedrooms, meaning lots of visitors and suitcases passing through. To keep up with the high traffic, Joa used our Full Gloss finish on the lower half of the walls, paired with Dead Flat above, adding an extra decorative twist while also ensuring longevity. Thoughtful touches like these are just what we expect from Joa, and she never disappoints.

Walls: Inchyra Blue No.289 in Modern Emulsion | Floor: Book Room Red No.50 in Modern Eggshell

Joa wanted something strong and deep at the end of the corridor, so she used our beloved Inchyra Blue on the walls. To make it extra cosy, she took the colour three-quarters of the way up the walls and paired it with Light Blue on the upper quarter and ceiling. For an added detail, the door to the adjoining bathroom has been painted in Book Room Red, which is then carried through onto the floor of the bathroom.

"This is the great thing about decorating at the moment; there aren’t any rules. You can do exactly what you want."

Walls and woodwork: Sap Green No.W56 in Dead Flat | Ceiling: Pink Cup No.9801 in Dead Flat

When deciding on the colour to paint this guest bedroom, Joa wanted the space to feel like it was almost in the field outside. Sap Green fit the bill perfectly, and to truly drench the space, Joa used our multi-surface Dead Flat finish across the walls and woodwork.

Pink Cup has been used on the ceiling, which not only flows nicely with the pink hallway but also with the Pink Cup and Sap Green harlequin patterned floor in the bathroom next door.

Walls and ceiling: Stirabout No.300 in Dead Flat

Walls and ceiling: Stirabout No.300 in Dead Flat

Almost every single surface in this space is painted in our earthy neutral, Stirabout.

Joa wanted this room to feel zen, light and neutral. Most importantly, she wanted it to feel lighter than the Setting Plaster hallway, so that upon entering the bedroom, there was a feeling of the space opening up.

To connect the inside with the outside, the reveals of the windows are painted in Stone White, a soft neutral with an unmistakable green undertone from our archive collection.
