Farrow & Ball – Pointing
A timeless, fuss-free colour that has a place in every setting, Farrow & Ball’s Pointing is all simplicity and warmth. This basic white tint doffs its hat to the lime pointing traditionally used in brickwork. It is naturally oriented towards red based, classic tones, contributing to elegant and beautifully balanced living spaces.
In many ways, Pointing is the definition of warm white. Its no-frills appearance makes it a robust and reliable addition to any room, regardless of the scale, decor style or lighting conditions. The reddish undertones that give Pointing its pleasant warmth prevent spaces from turning cold or unwelcoming. They also partner practically every finish – from woodwork and brick to shimmering metal.
Pointing offers the freedom to craft any kind of colour palette or aesthetic style. It is a solid choice for welcoming living rooms, country kitchens, and tranquil bedrooms. Rich woodsy elements in dark brown tones work particularly well alongside this quiet, inviting white. This combination can manifest as intimate, vintage spaces enriched with soft pastel accents and artwork, or as grandiose settings showcasing ornate architectural details, furniture and accessories.
In contemporary decor, Pointing offers a middle path between stark white treatments and beiges or neutrals that may appear dated. It can be successfully paired with other off-whites and creams for added depth and detail. It also unlocks the possibility of introducing geometric prints and patterns to a room while retaining softness and warmth. Bright colours like blue, green and red can also find a place in sophisticated modern interiors when paired with a warming, grounding complementary colour like Farrow & Ball’s Pointing.
