1 Art Deco

Jotun has identified blue as one of the most restful colours you can put on your walls, making it the perfect option for soothing sleeping quarters. The company has called its new collection of sophisticated blues Reflections of Time, with shades ranging from the gentle Eclipse Grey to the rich, inky tones of Deco Blue, pictured here.

2 None more black

Also at this end of the scale is this deep, dark shade of Blackened Black. It’s a bold move, but done well and in moderation, it’s one that’s guaranteed to pay off. Trust us.

3 Mighty white

The Reflections of Light palette is a tribute to whites, and you may be surprised to discover how many different variations there are. This Egg White option will open up any space, creating a light, airy environment. For maximum effect, the company recommends setting clean, simple whites with terracotta shades or striking but soft blacks.

4 Terracotta army

Rustic Terracotta sits at the tail end of the Reflections of Light family, and is a great way to add a touch of understated texture to your walls. It will look great paired with warm neutrals and lightwood furniture.

5 Accent option

For an even warmer, earthier effect, look to this shade of Cashmere, which will bring texture and scale to larger spaces. It’s a great option for those who want to experiment with an accent wall, but aren’t ready to commit to anything too dramatic.
