As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, November invites us to slow down, wrap up warm, and bring that comforting feeling indoors. At Nicholas Hall Decorating, we believe that the right colour palette can completely transform your space – whether you’re preparing your home for the festive season or refreshing your business with a professional new look before the New Year rush.
This month, we’re taking inspiration from Crown Paints’ Autumn/Winter Collection and Graham & Brown’s 2025 Colour of the Year, embracing tones that evoke calm, warmth, and understated luxury.
1. Crown Paints: “Liminal” – Calm Neutrals for Restful Spaces
Crown’s “Liminal” palette captures serenity and balance – think soft clays, muted taupes, and whisper-warm neutrals. Perfect for bedrooms and living spaces, these tones help create a peaceful retreat as the weather turns. Pairing these with natural wood textures or soft textiles like wool and linen brings that timeless, inviting feel to any home.
Decorator’s Tip: Try Crown’s “Sandy Castle” or “Washed Linen” with brushed-brass accents to create a warm glow, even on grey November days.
2. Graham & Brown: “Viridis” – A Touch of Nature Indoors
Graham & Brown’s Colour of the Year 2025, Viridis, is a gentle green inspired by renewal and growth. It’s a reminder that even in the colder months, nature’s influence can soothe the soul. Perfect for feature walls, hallways, or modern kitchens, it pairs beautifully with gold, walnut wood, and soft pinks for a high-end yet homely finish.
Decorator’s Tip: Combine Viridis with Graham & Brown’s “Restore” wallpaper for a contemporary twist on biophilic design – bringing the outside in.
3. Warming Up for Winter
November is also the perfect time to switch to richer, deeper tones. Think Crown’s “Velvet Evening”, Graham & Brown’s “Midnight Navy”, or terracotta hues that add depth and comfort. Whether you’re entertaining guests or simply curling up by the fire, these shades make every corner feel considered and cosy.
Decorator’s Tip: If you’re unsure about going bold, try introducing darker shades on woodwork, skirting, or feature alcoves for a statement that feels both stylish and timeless.
