We’ve used Farrow and Ball Blackened on several recent builds – it’s a popular choice for those after a subtle, modern grey that still keeps things light. It works particularly well on large media walls, fitted storage, and bespoke cabinetry, blending effortlessly with soft neutrals and natural wood finishes.
Farrow and Ball colours have become a major part of our work at Leechcroft Carpentry. Their palette has a depth and richness that suits bespoke furniture perfectly, from fitted wardrobes and home offices to media walls and full room schemes. The tones are balanced, the finishes are refined, and the way the colours respond to natural light makes them ideal for creating calm, elegant spaces.
Every project we paint begins with proper surface preparation. We prime, sand and refine each panel by hand, building a finish that is smooth, durable and designed to last. Farrow and Ball’s formulations work brilliantly with this approach, giving cabinetry a soft, high-end appearance that feels far more considered than standard factory finishes.
Another reason we favour painted furniture is the flexibility it gives homeowners. Should you decide to change your room colours in the future, your furniture can simply be repainted to suit. This avoids the limitations of pre-finished or laminated furniture and ensures your joinery can evolve with your home for many years to come. If you’re interested in understanding why we take this approach, you can read more in our guide to the benefits of hand-painted furniture.
Below, you’ll find examples of the Farrow and Ball colours we most commonly use across our bespoke projects, along with real installations that show how each shade behaves in different settings. Whether you prefer warm neutrals, deep greens, soft greys or bold statement tones, there is a colour to suit every style and every room.
