Colour me Drawing Room Blue…or any one of 132 stunning colours

20 May

Farrow & Ball’s stunning Drawing Room Blue – one of 132 possible colour choices now offered by Hooked on Hooks

Just  like you, me, Fido the dog, and everything else on the planet, Hooked on Hooks is evolving. From utterly plain racks to the positively curvaceous, with trefoil, quatrefoil and budded cross cut-outs, and different routed edges, plinth designs have grown increasingly elaborate. Latest in the ever-expanding desire to turn an essential, essentially boring household item into an aesthetically beautiful item of furniture – is the introduction of colour.

And not just any old colour.

Farrow & Ball of Dorset have been making paints since the 1930s – and not just any old paints. Paints that are so environmentally friendly, you could have them for breakfast. Paints with “the ultimate in depth of colour and elegance of finish.” Paints that are used by none other than the National Trust. For a sense of what I mean – computer pictures never tell the full story – click on the link and feast your eyes on their 132-strong colour chart (http://www.farrow-ball.com/colours/paint/fcp-category/list?resetFilters=true).

Hooked on Hooks can now produce coat racks finished in any of these colours. Just choose from the chart and I’ll take care of the rest. To see a few ready-made samples of coloured hat & coat racks, scroll through the Hooked on Hooks’s Product page at http://www.hookedonhooks.co.uk/products and Gallery at http://www.hookedonhooks.co.uk/gallery.
