Why Graham & Brown’s Colour Of The Year Should Be Included In Your Bathroom

As we head towards the last few months of the year, it doesn’t seem too crazy to start thinking about 2025 renovations, right?

‘What colour palette should I opt for?’ or ‘What brassware finish would look best?’ – are just some of the questions you may be pondering over.

Lucky for you, the family run Graham & Brown have released their colour of the year 2025 and it’s rather wonderful. With them being one of the UK’s oldest and most respected wallpaper and home décor creators we couldn’t let this colour go without recognition.

Described as ‘a perfect neutral toned brown, the colour of the year 2025 has been conscientiously curated to ensure a timeless design scheme. Elderton takes its name from the humble Elder tree’.

The team at Graham & Brown add, ‘it can be used in any room in the home and like all Graham & Brown paint, Elderton is an eco, water based, odourless and ultra-low VOC paint. Resulting in a more environmentally friendly product.’  

Graham and Brown’s Head Stylist and Trend Specialist, Paula Taylor comments,  ‘Graham & Brown’s Ultra Matt Resistance Paint Elderton can be the perfect companion for a bathroom transformation. It’s cleanable durability makes it ideal for areas prone to some spillages, always ensure your bathroom or wet areas are well ventilated to ensure this delicious shade retains it’s performance.’

So, whilst brown might not have crossed your mind for a bathroom colour contender, we believe it’s the perfect shade for a dreamy bathroom space. Here are three ways you can style this colour and have your friends wishing they’d found It first.

Elderton Styled with Brush Brass

The Milano Elizabeth brushed brass is described as our most vibrant gold. Offering warmth but not too vibrant or overwhelming.

Paired with the Elderton paint from Graham & Brown will help create an autumnal palette, enhanced with marble flooring and paneled walls for a timeless elegant space. Chefs kiss.

Light Oak Vanity Unit and Elderton Painted Walls

If contrast is what you seek, look no further than the Milano Bexley light oak vanity unit with Elderton walls. The unique light wood grain against the darker hued wall will create a stark contrast, rich in tone and texture.
