An old image of the Blue Drawing Room shows quintessential elegance made inviting: loose-covered furniture, a Savonnerie rug, and portraits from Batoni to Freud above Debo Devonshire’s ‘country-house chic’ arrangements. The scheme was tied together by a once-blue silk now faded to celadon, and this paint colour captures that softly transformed hue.How to style: A blue-green that quietly supports a whole room without appearing dominant. Its robust softness flatters polished wood, suits artwork of every era, and relates beautifully to textiles and foliage. Wonderful on walls but equally successful on cabinetry – even exterior woodwork.Historic Colour Key: Late Georgian – George III. Regency inc. William IV. Victorian. Modern, Edward VII to Charles III.
