Fair partner Mylands, Britain’s leading paint and wood polishes manufacturer, whose product features of many of our exhibitors’ stands, and leading interior designer Beata Heuman introduce THE DEPENDABLES, a collection of 24 considered, vivid and reliable paint colours.

No. 11 Stockholm (inside shelves), No.1 Beata White (woodwork and ceiling)

Encapsulating a palette of shades refined over decades of designing interiors, THE DEPENDABLES are trusted colours you can rely on: versatile light neutrals to cover most walls, mid-tones for shadowy depth in places, darker shades to add edge and contrast, a generous sprinkling of uplifting but calming greens and blues, buttery, irresistible yellows and a sizzling pop of red to add the cherry on the cake.

Sharing the same beloved home-city of London, Beata has long admired Mylands for the quality of its paints. Mylands has been perfecting the art of fine paints for over 140 years and five generations at its factory in the heart of London, an expertise for which it was awarded a Royal Warrant in 1985. Mylands is one of the last remaining manufacturers to still use natural earth pigments in its paints which makes them durable, colour rich and kind to the planet.

No.18 Henna (floor), No.4 Bone (walls and woodwork), No.22 Boiled Dill (ceiling)

Mylands and Beata Heuman first worked together on the restoration of Beata Heuman’s brand home, 188 Hammersmith Road, in 2021. Beata selected existing Mylands colours and also developed bespoke shades, after which a collaborative collection was a natural next step, with the two companies bringing all they had learned and created together into a concise, timeless collection.

No.2 Chalk (panelling), No.14 Damp Leaf (chest of drawers)

Each of the 24 trusted shades has been carefully honed and tested to ensure they work in most settings, in different combinations and cohesively as a whole. Though curated and succinct, the collection is versatile and full of possibility. These colours work well with antiques or modern design.
