Colour Inspiration: Naptime & Gwen by COAT Paints
We’re delighted to have been featured by COAT Paints in their latest social media feature, highlighting one of our Studio Heim interiors.
The post showcases our use of COAT's Naptime and Gwen - a soft, considered colour combination that brings warmth and personality to the space.
We love using colour in a way that feels natural rather than overwhelming, layering it with texture, furniture and carefully selected finishes to create interiors that feel calm, cohesive and personal.
“The right colour combination can completely transform the feeling of a room.”
COAT Paints is a brand we love working with for its beautifully considered palette, and we're always looking for ways to introduce colour into our projects that feels timeless rather than trend-led.
As a Scottish interior design studio based near Edinburgh, we work with clients across Edinburgh, Fife, West Lothian and throughout the UK, creating thoughtful residential interiors that are designed around the way people live.
“We love interiors that feel considered without feeling overly designed.
A Particularly Special Project
This project holds a particularly special place in my heart.
The room I designed was actually my daughter’s nursery, and rather wonderfully, COAT Paints shared their post on 14 August 2025, which was my due date.
Our beautiful baby girl arrived the very next day. 🤍
So seeing this little room featured by COAT Paints just as we were about to welcome her into the world makes the project even more meaningful to us.
It was designed to be a calm, cosy and timeless space, using soft colour and tactile textures to create a room that would grow with her rather than feeling overly “baby”.
