Atelier Ellis // Waving & Smiling

This month my favourite paint company have added twelve new colours to their collection. I am very lucky to be working with Atelier Ellis to show just how lovely their new palette is. I couldn’t explain the thoughts behind the new colours better than the owner Cassandra Ellis.

“Waving & Smiling is here to encourage unique stories of home, whilst revelling in the choice of others.

We believe that palettes and stories can help liberate us in shaping a personally rare and fulfilling life. With Waving & Smiling, the idea of connection resonated deeply with us.

We believe colour can help each of us connect, communicate, and better understand what home is.”

I happily perused the new colours with glee, rich, soft, restful, all so very beautiful that work seamlessly together, whether you are choosing one colour or several each compliments the other to perfection. Our bedroom was in need of a refresh so I chose Lulling a deeply restful shade that has such an air of peace about it I just knew it would envelop us when in slumber. Waking in the morning is a joy the light softly dancing through the natural linen curtains bringing stillness to our day ahead. I love colour blocking, painting the walls and ceiling the same colour, it works perfectly in our small space. I don’t like clutter in our room, no technology just a few books and soft furnishings which truly aids restful sleep.

Atelier Ellis ethos is one I wholeheartedly agree with, their attention to detail and focus on sustainability is paramount.

“We want your home to be an uplifting container for the life, stories and memories that happen there. Our intensely-pigmented, en terré colours are designed to envelop you and create spaces that are welcoming, calming and cocooning.

We craft our colours like an artist, using up to 10 pigments to create the perfect complex and nuanced shade. Every colour is both familiar and comforting, imagined from timeless human, nature and art-based ideas.

We hope they will inspire you to create the perfect backdrop for the way you wish to live”

Painting your home in any of these beautiful shades will surely create the backdrop to your own stories for many years to come. Find out more about the wonderful world that is Atelier Ellis and follow more Waving & Smiling stories here
