Farrow & Ball paint fans: this is the most popular shade to refresh your walls with right now, according to online research.

Lockdown has given plenty of us the opportunity to give our homes some tender loving care. From creatively styling our bookshelves, to jumping on the rattan furniture trend and stocking up on beautiful new wine glasses to exhibit on the table – we’ve had plenty of time to refresh our homes. 

For anyone who’s looking to go one step further and give their walls an overhaul, you might be interested in knowing what the most popular paint colour for the home is right now. 

Luxury online bathroom retailer Drench has carried out research to find the UK’s most popular Farrow & Ball paint colours for each room of the house – including the kitchen, living room and bedroom. It did this by analysing the annual Google search volume of Farrow & Ball paint colours and adding the room name to each colour.

‘Hague Blue’ was the most popular paint colour for the kitchen, living room and bedroom. In fact, the colour accounted for almost half (44%) of the total Google search volume of the top five paint colours for the living room.
