I tested more beige paint samples than I care to admit…
but this one earned its place 🤍
This room is north-facing, which means it always felt cold and flat. Dulux Egyptian Cotton was the perfect balance of light but cosy.
Why it works so well in a north-facing room 👇
• Soft warm undertones that stop the space feeling grey
• Reflects light without feeling stark
• Creates instant calm when paint-drenched
• Makes cooler rooms feel more inviting
• Pairs beautifully with walnut furniture
Walls, ceiling, woodwork… even the radiator. By using one colour everywhere it makes the room feel bigger.

Save this if you’re choosing paint for a north-facing room 🤍
