The Garden Party: Twelve new colours arranged in a seasonal tableau.
Gathering, turning and swaying from Spring’s rise through Autumn’s rich decline. A gentle revelry of the living and the still.
With Katherine Mansfield as our muse, our new palette harnesses feminine energy, flora and the beauty of still life. A collection rich with useful and liveable colours, from a family of fresh whites through to soft and saturated greens and beautifully useful earth tones.
Growing from Spring bulbs, deep earth and soft greens to the last of the Autumn flowers and saturated light. These are colours and paint that are entirely at ease in homes and surrounding humans.
We create beautiful, breathable, bio-based colour and paint to help you tell your story of home and place.
Atelier Ellis treasures home in its truest sense - as a container for everything. An almanac of our homes as the holder of our possessions, experiences, palettes, people and place.
We want your home to be an uplifting container for the life, stories and memories that happen there. Our intensely pigmented, en terré colours are designed to envelop you and create spaces that are welcoming, calming and cocooning.
We craft our colours like an artist, using up to 10 pigments to create our perfectly complex, unique and nuanced shades. Every colour is both familiar and comforting, imagined from timeless human, nature and art-based ideas.
We hope they will inspire you to create the perfect backdrop for the way you wish to live.
“I want so to live that I work with my hands and my feeling and my brain. I want a garden, a small house, grass, animals, books, pictures, music. And out of this, the expression of this, I want to be writing. But warm, eager, living life — to be rooted in life — to learn, to desire, to feel, to think, to act. This is what I want. And nothing less. That is what I must try for.”
― Katherine Mansfield
A gentle and simple evolution – beautiful, breathable, bio-based paint
We’ve elevated our beautiful True Matt Emulsion to a bio–based formula.
This evolution of our paint base includes a newly developed, beautiful, natural based binder – which is also new to the UK. We’ve formulated it to be better for people and their homes.
Our new, renewable, natural-based binder is created from bio-based materials including vegetable oil produced from waste, castor oil, linseed oil, sugar and bio ethanol. It improves both the materiality and performance of our already exceptional quality, virtually VOC free and fully breathable paint.
We also offer complete transparency of our ingredients and source locations. We source over 95 % of our materials from the UK, with the remainder coming from Europe.
With a unique colour palette created by Cassandra Ellis, our bio-based True Matt Emulsion is exceptionally matt and clean smelling. It is suitable for lime and gypsum plaster and is washable and safe for all rooms, including kitchens, bathrooms and children’s spaces.
The Townhouse
Our Townhouse store in Bath portrays and celebrates domestic space. To share how our paints look, perform and – most importantly – feel.
It is a unique place and we would be delighted to welcome you. Three floors of domestic scale rooms reveal unique and liveable colour combinations and finishes, with our in-store colour experts to help you create your palette of home .
We are open Tuesday - Saturday and you can also book complimentary colour consultations here.
Never one house, nor one city.
Leaving is starting; the unknown beckons.
“Where is home?”
She taps her chest. “Here. I am home".
