COLOUR COLLECTION No.3.
The form and colour of a Plain English kitchen create a unique space that sets the scene for a lifetime of timeless rituals: tying an apron, drinking tea, burning the toast. These rituals continue to inform and inspire Plain English’s evolving collection of bespoke paint colours, available exclusively to our customers. This collection was put together by creative director Kate Shaw, and Interior Designer Rita Konig.
