Bathroom

For spaces requiring enhanced durability, an alternative finish delivers impressive wear resistance along with stain-resistant and washable properties, all while maintaining high pigmentation and being handmade in the UK with virtually zero VOC levels.
Kitchen
Little Greene Bombolone 339 offers a warm option for a kitchen color, ideal for enveloping the space in comfort and creating an inviting atmosphere. This single shade can be applied to walls, woodwork, and cabinets using a technique known as “colour drenching,” which unifies the room while enhancing its character.
The hue complements neutral tones like Silt or Stock to maintain balance and can be accented with a pop of Marine Blue or Woad for a striking contrast. Additionally, it works well with finishes designed for high-traffic areas, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and practical durability for kitchens.
