Quiet Joy and Timeless Style for Your Home
As we step into 2026, interiors are embracing calm, comfort and subtle sophistication. Homes are no longer about flashy contrasts or overly bright shades. Instead the focus is on colours that soothe the mind, invite creativity and transform spaces into personal sanctuaries. GrannyB Chalkpaint makes it easy to bring this vision to life, offering shades that can turn any wall, piece of furniture or décor item into a statement of quiet joy and timeless style.
This year’s palette reflects a love for nature inspired tones, soft pastels and grounding neutrals. It is about creating balance, spaces that feel both cozy and elegant, playful and serene, timeless yet modern. These colours invite you to slow down, connect with your surroundings and curate a home that feels uniquely yours.

Styling Tips for the 2026 Palette
