How to use Farrow & Ball -Jakobsmussel, the new trend shadow

Farrow & Ball is one of the most popular paint brands that many want to inspire. When the company released 12 new shadows of color a few months ago – the first drop in 2022 – I was all included, super excited. And one of the new starts called a scallop mussel is already trendy. So if you are also in the guidelines for the use of the Farrow & Ball -Jakobsussel in the color.

A few weeks ago I came across this new color trend on Pinterest for the first time when the Jakobsmussel from Farrow & Ball properly trented for the first time. At the beginning of May, Pinterest recorded an increase from week to week by 30% for 'Jakobsmussel wall “, while' Farrow & Ball-Neutrale 'rose to an increase of 85%.

From the 12 new Farrow & Ball Shades, Jakobsmussel is the softest, most neutral and most versatile color of the bunch. And when you consider that Ston, a robust, white one, is one of Farrow & Ball's most popular colors, it is not surprising that Jakobsmussel enjoys so much popularity.

“The Jakobsmussel was one of the most popular colors from the latest start and rightly,” says Michael Rolland, Paint Expert and Managing Director at The Paint Shed, one of Farrow & Ball dealers. “It is a soft, shell-inspired neutral with a hint of pink, so it feels soft and warm.”

In which rooms does the scallop look best?

When they ask experts how to best use the scallop's scent, they all agreed that it was such a varied, flexible and easy -to -use color that they cannot really do wrong when decoration.

“Scallop has universal attraction,” says Patrick O'Donnell, brand ambassador to Farrow & Ball. “See it as your decorative friend for trim, blankets or walls. The slightly “dirty” quality (think of a less clean version of Pink Ground) always keeps it too pretty, too neat. '

This shadow really lives in the rooms with a lot of natural light. 'Jakobsmussel looks good in rooms with a lot of natural light. It really comes available there; It feels fresh and light and you notice the soft pink tones. I saw how it works very well in rooms such as bedrooms with skylights or even conservators. The natural light gives it a bit of light and prevents it from being flat. Nevertheless, it is subtle enough to use in smaller rooms with less natural light because the color of the color is, Michael explains on the paint shed.

Patrick continues: 'It has a gentle warmth if it is hit with a lot of light, but is neutralized in full daylight to a nuanced by White. In the evening and lamps are switched on, it has a wonderful essential quality, the pink notes are very discreet, which means that it reacts as a great film for most decoration times and styles. '

In which rooms you shouldn't use a scallop mussel

Based on the previous advice, you have already suspected which types of rooms of these shadows may not be correct – or rather, it will exhaust his full potential in rooms with a lot of artificial light and little to no natural light.

“In rooms that are flooded with hard artificial light to the north or in rooms, the scallop can sometimes take a peach -colored color or appear a bit boring,” says Alex Stubbs, flitch inner stylist. 'It is not quite good with ultra-modern kitchens with stainless steel or cooler tones in which it appears a little out of place. If your decor tends to a sharp monochrome or an ultra-minimalist atmosphere, the warmth of the scallop mussel could be coordinated against each other instead of improving the overall look. '

Before you release this shade of color, it is worth ordering a tester pot and living with a sample on your wall for a while, as you decorate your walls after moving in or as soon as you decide to decorate a room anyway.

How to style Jakobsmussel

While you can do absolutely for a moment with a Jakobsmussel with a full wall or colored wet, the color also looks good for functions such as slides and blankets. All places where you should ideally not paint white.

“Use as a trim or ceiling color for a brave selection of your wall – which from muddy browns like broccoli -brown to Khakis like Treron or Dibber.

It is also wonderfully suitable for natural textures and materials for a true heat and coconut feeling. 'The soft color of the scallop's shell complements the layer -neutral beautifully. It is perfect to create a warm, warm aesthetics, especially in combination with tactile elements such as linen curtains or rattan. This color seems in colored wet techniques in bedrooms or corridors, especially in combination with deeper wooden tones, ”advises Alex at Flitch.
