Paint your world colorful - Colors are the wonderful spice of life
When you open the door to the strong terracotta-colored hall, what do you feel?
Maybe warmth, coziness and a remotely spicy burn that reminds you of fresh bunches of spices in the narrow alleys of the bazaar. Spicy colors are not just an interior design trend - they are a way to bring the richness of cultures and the depth of stories into your home.
The orange terracotta on the walls feels like a soft hug. Guests may notice that their breathing deepens and their shoulders drop right away in the hall. This color does not scream for attention, but invites to calm down.
Maybe it reminds them of an afternoon in the Tuscan hills, or simply how good it feels to be welcomed.
A guest entering the burnt-brick-colored hall feels as if he is moving to another world for a moment. Strong colors are combined with strong scent memories - they complete the story of the colors: cardamom, cloves and cinnamon float in the air like warm tea vapors and ear drops.
Such a hallway doesn't just welcome you - it immediately wraps you in its embrace.
Why choose spicy colors?
They are timeless - Spicy colors don't follow trends - they are rooted in history and cultures.
That genuine warmth. The spicy tones bring an inviting and earthy atmosphere to the space and are easy to combine.

A soft cream shade isn't just a color – it's a state of mind. It says that life is balanced in this home, your home is warm and approachable. Cream-colored walls don't just frame your home; they offer a soft, timeless background where both everyday moments and festive gatherings can shine.
A cream-toned light room communicates subtlety.
It doesn't brag, but it offers a touch of luxury, as if you've stepped into a classic European cafe, with tables covered in white tablecloths and paintings bathed in soft light hanging on the walls. Guests immediately feel welcome, as if tea in porcelain cups had just been handed to them.
Your style can be from anywhere in the world, the cream shade always works!
The cream tone combined with dark wooden beams and brass details brings to mind the scent of a toasted croissant and strong espresso. Imagine a French bistro.
How about this: Soft cream tones combine with antique furniture and lavender pots and geraniums blooming on the windowsills. Just like a sweet English country home. Combine the cream tones with other pastel shades with this style; such as powder pink Dusky Blush, sage green Wise Old Sage and delicate lavender Parma Violet.
Does your style go even further? The perfect cream tone for the minimalist Japandi style emphasizes the harmony of natural light and bamboo surfaces. Combine this with a suitably elegant matte black Blackjack and your room is ready.
With colors, you can paint not only the furniture, but also the atmosphere and style of the entire room
Whether it's a charming vintage bookshelf, an old Ikea or an adventurous retro Side table , every piece of furniture is like a note of a lyrical song that tones your interior to a new level.
The use of colors doesn't just shape the furniture - it creates a whole universe around you.
And hey, who wouldn't want to live in a universe where the sofa and the walls speak the same language as the curtains?

This shade is like a sweet moment melted into the kitchen, which brightens up everyday life as well as parties.

- Cotton candy pink reminds me of childhood candy stores and marshmallows on birthday cakes.
- Pink creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere that makes the kitchen a relaxed meeting place.
- When combined with the right materials, such as brass or marble, pink can even be luxurious. Or so it is.
A pastel, appropriately pink kitchen immediately evokes a feeling of lightness and cheerfulness
Imagine how your morning starts in a kitchen like this: a cup of coffee glistens softly against the pink walls, and the space seems to invite you to dream. Guests, on the other hand, cannot help but feel welcome
Although pink may seem sugary sweet at first glance, it is intertwined with many cultures and moods:
- French charm: Imagine a small kitchen in the heart of Paris, where sweetly worn pink vintage cabinets combine with white tile walls and old-fashioned cast iron pans. Your vintage pink shade is Rosy Dusk.
- American retro diner: The hot pink color is charming next to the metallic bar stools and mint green details. Your tone is sweet BonBon.
- Japanese kawaii aesthetic: The pink shade combines with minimalist lines and natural materials, creating a stylish yet cute ensemble. Your shade is delicate Ballerina, Sweetcheeks or Pinky.
Pink is not just a color – it's also a taste, smell and feeling. In the kitchen, it brings to mind the foam of a strawberry milkshake that bubbles around the edges of the glass, a freshly baked macaron whose filling melts in your mouth, or a festive raspberry cake that brings a smile to the lips of every eater.

That subtle blend of grey, white and a hint of beige warmth – is a perfectly balanced shade. It does not dominate the space, but allows it to breathe, while creating a pleasant and sophisticated atmosphere.

The light gray in the hallway is timeless and exudes confidence – it doesn't need attention, but it still gathers it. In such a hallway, you always feel like a valued guest. You can be in an English mansion or a Scandinavian home, both work!
Imagine soft woolen accessories, gray and white scarves and hats in your hallway, which complement the soft color palette of the space.

Everything starts with preparation
The painting adventure begins with careful preparation. No, we're not just talking about pulling masking tape (although that's important!).
First, think about what you want your furniture or space to convey. Is the nature of your space like a quiet poet or is it a bit of a wild adventurer? Let your furniture or space speak for itself and choose shades that bring out its personality.
And then, take a moment to clean and sand the surfaces. This small effort guarantees that the end result is like straight from an interior design magazine.
You will surely fall in love with the wonderful and stylish matte shades of our series - and their ease of use.
When the groundwork is done , you can focus on what's essential - the drug of color that takes you with you!

Courage is a painter's best companion
Courage doesn't just mean bright colors – it means daring to try, fail and discover something new.
If you've never painted a cabinet a bright red like Hot Lips, now is the time.
Let boring solutions stay for yesterday!
Life is too short for paper white walls or muted beiges (unless beige is the color of your heart, then it's perfect).
Remember: each color also chooses the story of the space. Maybe you want to boldly paint the kitchen dining table blue, like the summer sky with *Ol' Blue Eyes* shade, or maybe you conjured up a romantic warm and gentle *Yorkshire Rose* from your chest of drawers.
You decide!

Layer by layer – the end result is like a work of art

Paint is not just a color – it is a characteristic surface that makes a piece of furniture a masterpiece.
If you want to add personality, try layering shades - combine, collide and match!
Also try playing with gloss levels - the combination of matte and shiny can be stunning!

Pro-tip from an interior design professional: white moldings are now completely passé
Now let's paint the walls and moldings in the same tone. The bravest ones also paint the fifth wall, i.e. the ceiling, which makes the atmosphere more concrete and the ceiling has a luxurious feel!
If this idea seems too bold, but still interesting, try it first in a smaller space, such as a small toilet or bedroom. How about wallpapering that ceiling and painting the walls and moldings?
Even if you are a beginner or less experienced in painting, you will probably fall in love with the new features of our paints - they are easy to use and safe to start being Color Bold! You can read other people's painting experiences here.
The shade in this picture is similar to Smudge or Blackjack.
Surfaces, patterns and structures - Dare to play
If a monochrome surface feels too simple, add a pattern or texture. Imagine a dresser that combines a matte Smudge with a golden metallic sheen! Use stencils to create geometric patterns, or casually make curved lines freehand or tape sharp stripes to the wall or furniture! We have listed different painting techniques here as a handy list, see if you learn something new there!
Texture painting is another way to create interest. For example, with a thicker layer of paint, you can create spectacular ridges that bring depth to the surface. Try Saltwash texture powder together with paint for this technique. This technique works especially well with natural shades like Pampas or Stone in Love.
If, on the other hand, you love a smooth and flawless paint surface, Frenchic is just the right paint set for you - the beautifully smooth paint!
The shade in this picture is similar to Yorkshire Rose or Parchment
The story of the furniture and space lives through its colors
Every painting project is a story – not just the piece of furniture, but also yours. Maybe your old closet now shows with its new color how the power of change can bring new life. How nice it is to touch that painted, beautiful chest of drawers every time you pass by!
How about that door - the freshly painted green door of the airing cupboard will delight anyone who comes home and put a smile on their face. A guaranteed topic of conversation and compliments among guests.
By the way, the door can only be painted on one side - how about a wonderful electric blue guest toilet door? Bold shades, such as Irish Dance, make the piece of furniture a dancing star and raise a smile. On the other hand, a calm Creme de la Creme can be like a silent poem that brings harmony to the room.
Which are you today - a dancer or a poet?
The shade in this picture is similar to Beach Hut.
Small touches make a big impact
If painting an entire piece of furniture seems like too big a project, start small. For example, paint only the front panels of a box or the legs of a piece of furniture. Imagine how a bold shade like berry red Love Letter can highlight the details of an otherwise neutral piece of furniture.
Small touches can make a big impression!
Let your furniture shine
Remember that painting is only part of the project. Finishing is the moment when the furniture comes into the spotlight.
Add beautiful touches such as metal or porcelain details and watch your furniture transform into a work of art.
Also pay attention to the lighting - the right lighting can make the paint surface live and beautiful. And you can always add one more green plant!
The shade in this picture is similar to Stone in Love.
Painting is therapy
Despite all the great end results, painting is also a process that gives a lot to its creator .
Brushstrokes and the smell of paint can be like meditation. Break away from everyday life and let yourself be immersed in a state of flow, where only colors and creativity are present.
Self-made or recycled - you will enjoy the end result for a long time.
The shade in this picture is similar to Pampas.
Get inspired and dream - share the joy!
