Farrow & Ball – London Stone
Farrow & Ball’s London Stone is a timeless neutral shade with famous origins. The architect John Sutcliffe first crafted this light brown colour for a Regent’s Park residence. Since then, this warm and quietly charming hue has served as a popular binding element for a variety of spaces.
Offering the benefits and versatility of the neutral group of colours, London Stone slips effortlessly into both classic and modern decor. Though originally created for traditionally styled spaces, it does not subscribe to a specific design aesthetic. The colours with which it is paired decide the energy that it generates.
London Stone falls within the “mid brown” range, and has “underlying magenta tones.” Light enough not to impose on its surroundings, yet equipped to create a welcoming sense of warmth, it is perfect for kitchens, bedrooms or intimate home offices.
Colour palettes featuring Londone Stone and browns or taupes with a similar colour temperature can create picture-perfect vintage settings. On the other hand, paler taupes or creams that help London Stone appear darker in contrast will instantly evoke a clean, contemporary vibe. This versatile mid brown also lends itself to more dramatic compositions such as those involving inky blues or earthy reds. These contrasting hues will support sophisticated, gallery-esque interiors that are vibrant yet subtle.
Practically every style of interiors can be built around Farrow & Ball’s London Stone, or benefit from its addition in the form of accents or furniture. Spacious, classic homes featuring refined mahogany furniture and ornate accents can use it as a warm wall colour. Delightful retro kitchens can root their light pastel fittings and accessories with London Stone cabinetry. Intimate, colourful Boho-chic settings can be grounded via artworks or upholstery that have London Stone as a base colour.
