Brushing up on colour
Penny Morrison
Interior designer
Which is your favourite neutral?
A milky-coffee colour, such as Farrow & Ball Stony Ground, because it goes with everything.
What is your favourite dark colour?
Dark raspberry, such as Farrow & Ball Radicchio—I love using similar colours on sofas, cushions and beds.
Do you use a lot of white?
I tend to use white only in beach houses—bedrooms there, decorated all in white, can look incredibly chic, with a few colourful accents.
What is your preferred colour for ceilings?
Pure white, such as Farrow & Ball Strong White, as ceilings discolour quickly.
Do you have a rule for painting woodwork?
Where possible, I paint woodwork in the same colour
