At Farrow & Ball, supporting the LGTBQIA+ community goes beyond June through our Painting with Pride project. Recently, we shared an exciting project with the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art, the world's only dedicated LGBTQIA+ art museum. Last week, we were thrilled to co-host an evening of conversation in the space. We were joined by Editor in Chief of ELLE DECOR, Asad Syrkett, multimedia artist and designer Liz Collins, and fashion designer Christopher John Rogers, who delved into the topic of queer design moderated by Leslie-Lohman Executive Director Alyssa Nitchun. On our podcast, The Chromologist, we were lucky enough to be joined by Glyn Fussell, founder of Sink The Pink and champion of the LGBTQIA+ community to hear about the colours that have shaped his life. Next up for Painting with Pride, we're heading to Margate to add some colour to MARGATE ARTS CLUB, a joyful queer-run community space. More to come on this soon.

Inspiring you to reimagine your home with our richly pigmented paint and handcrafted wallpaper.
About us
Here at Farrow & Ball, we're dedicated to creating a range of richly pigmented paints and handcrafted wallpapers, using only the highest-quality ingredients. Still rooted in Dorset, England, our palette is available in a full range of high-performance interior and exterior finishes. Deepening from subtle neutrals to dark inky hues, our paint is blended with up to five pigments for an extraordinary depth of colour. It’s also here that we craft each roll of our wallpaper with Farrow & Ball paint and responsibly sourced paper. Our traditional printing methods give an exquisitely tactile, almost three-dimensional finish as you seamlessly combine paint and paper in the same space. It began in 1946 with local pioneers John Farrow and Richard Ball. Our founders were groundbreaking in their pursuit of only the finest quality ingredients. From then on, our laboratory forged cutting-edge methods for testing the exceptional colour and performance of our paint finishes. Today the unique Farrow & Ball look transforms modern and traditional homes, large and small, inside and out, around the world. Even with more than 60 showrooms worldwide and a global network of stockists, we’ve never forgotten our local Dorset roots.

What an incredible week we’ve had celebrating our handcrafted wallpapers in LA. We discussed the art of painted paper for LEGENDS 2024 with Joanna Saltz from House Beautiful, marvelled at the stunning windows crafted by And And And Studio, and shared a sneak peek of something new with friends at the beautiful Olive Ateliers. To everyone who joined us, thank you for making it so special. For those who couldn’t make it, stay tuned for more events coming soon.

We are thrilled to have sponsored this year's Interior Designer of the Year award in House & Garden's Design Awards, which has been awarded to Rita Konig. Penned as the queen of 'undone' interiors, Rita's style is comfortable, cosy and above all, colourful. Getting to know ‘how my clients like to live’ is at the heart of her work: ‘I think good houses invite you in and that the stuff in them is as important as the colour scheme.’ Photography by Sophia Spring courtesy of Condé Nast

We're celebrating #EarthDay with five things that not only make our wallpaper unique, but also ensure they are crafted with conscience: 🖐️ By using traditional handcrafted methods, every roll has a purposefully personal touch. 🖌️ We use our own, water based paint for rich colour and irresistible texture. 💡 All of our wallpaper is made in Dorset using 100% renewable energy. ♻️ Completely vinyl free, any offcuts are fully recyclable to reduce waste. 🌍 From FSC-certified paper and beyond, we partner with planet-conscious suppliers.
