If 2020 has taught the interiors and home market anything, it’s that people really do appreciate their home environment and are willingly seeking-out home inspiration ideas to make their space beautiful.
Paint is one of the most significant ways you can change a space. It’s the DIY staple. We caught up with Myland’s CEO Dominic Myland to glean some expert knowledge of what tones are top ranking, for 2021.
Whilst Pure White remains a best seller, CEO Dominic Myland comments that it’s been interesting to see the most popular colours over the last twelve months, ‘It’s been really interesting to see some newcomers, which are full of confident colour. While Threadneedle No.262 and Beauvais No. 195 bring a subtle hint of colour, the bright and rich tones of Burlington Arcade no. 216, Bond Street No. 219 and Mayfair Dark No.218 show how our customers are really embracing a stronger look. ‘ says Dominic.
Green, a forever favourite of mine, particularly in the darker and sludgier hues, is seeing an increase in popularity too. ‘Messel No.39 is also a new entry, and we’ve seen greens in general surging in popularity over the last year’, says Daniel.
‘Messel No.39 is also a new entry, and we’ve seen greens in general surging in popularity over the last year’ - Dominic Myland, CEO Mylands.

A brilliant blend of pure white pigment, China clay and crushed marble. Pure White No.1 has been a bestseller for numerous years. It works brilliantly on its own - an uncomplicated white decor scheme can bring you peace and serenity, a visual palette cleanser – or it can complement any colour on the spectrum.
