A private after-hours evening
Make My Colour Palette
The first step to a home that feels like you.
With Rebecca from Make My House Home, Anna from Fenwick & Tilbrook and Donna from Williams & Parfitt
After the doors close
Once the shop closes for the day, the doors shut and it's just us. A small group, surrounded by antiques and art, with an interior designer and a paint maker to guide you.
Come on your own or bring a friend. The shop stays open for you all evening, so if something catches your eye, you can buy it on the night.
We all know what we like when we see it
But when it comes to our homes, we often reach for what feels safe, or what we saw in a magazine, and then wonder why it doesn't quite feel like us.
The idea is simple. The colours in your home should come from you, from the things you love and the reasons you love them.
Bring something that means something to you. We'll talk about why you chose it, then we'll show you how to pull a colour palette from it using Fenwick & Tilbrook paints, how tones sit together, and how to use it in your own rooms.
You'll go home knowing which colours belong in your home, and why.
How the evening runs
Welcome
Settle in with the shop all to ourselves. Donna will welcome you, then Anna and I will introduce ourselves.
Where colour comes from
Why the colours in your home should come from you, and how I start every home with the people who live in it.
Something you love
Round the table: what you've brought and why you love it. Forgotten it, or nothing came to mind? Find something in the shop instead.
Building your palette
A guided session with Fenwick & Tilbrook colours. Pulling colours from your piece and talking through tones together.
Wrap-up
Your palette marked up on your swatch card, goodie bags, time for questions, and a last browse of the shop.
What to bring, what you'll take home
Bring something you love
It doesn't need to be colourful or precious. Just something you love, for your own reasons:
- A painting, print or postcard
- A piece of fabric, a cushion or a scarf
- A plate, a vase, a favourite book
- Even what you're wearing
Nothing to hand? You can find something in the shop on the day.
What you'll take home
- A palette you've built yourself, marked up on a keepsake swatch card
- A goodie bag
- Thank-you offers from Make My House Home and Fenwick & Tilbrook, sent to you after the evening
From previous workshop guests
Unlike a lot of interior designers with their own signature style, she uniquely puts you and your taste first.
I had certain colours in mind, but I ended up choosing something I feel is much more appealing.
It was lovely to spend a couple of hours surrounded by other interior lovers, discussing colour and pattern.
