Farrow & Ball

Farrow & Ball has mixed paint in Dorset, England, since 1946, when chemist John Farrow and engineer Richard Ball began making rich colors to original formulations. The company held onto those traditional recipes while much of the industry moved to acrylics with fewer pigments, and in 2010 it switched all of its oil-based paints to water-based, low-VOC finishes. The wallpaper comes from the same tins. Since 1997, Farrow & Ball has printed its papers with its own paint, using block and trough techniques that leave the pattern with real texture.

That shared palette is why the paint and the papers sit together in one collection here. Our team curates Farrow & Ball beside the designer lighting and furniture we carry, so a wall color, a papered feature wall and the fixtures around them can be planned together. Most pieces are specially ordered from the maker, and we explain timing and costs before anything is placed.
