The Dependables Collection Created by Beata Heuman
Capturing a palette refined over decades of designing interiors, The Dependables are trusted colours you can rely on: versatile light neutrals to cover most walls, mid-tones for shadowy depth in places, darker shades for edge and contrast, a generous sprinkling of uplifting yet calming greens and blues, buttery, irresistible yellows, and a sizzling pop of red for the cherry on top.
Mylands and leading interior designer Beata Heuman introduce The Dependables, a collection of 24 considered, vivid and reliable paint colours. Capturing a palette refined over decades of designing interiors, The Dependables are trusted colours you can rely on: versatile light neutrals to cover most walls, mid-tones for shadowy depth in places, darker shades for edge and contrast, a generous sprinkling of uplifting yet calming greens and blues, buttery, irresistible yellows, and a sizzling pop of red for the cherry on top.
Sharing the same beloved home city of London, Beata has long admired Mylands for the quality of its paints; Mylands has been perfecting the art of fine paints for over 140 years and five generations at its factory in the heart of London, an expertise for which it was awarded a Royal Warrant in 1985. Mylands is one of the last remaining manufacturers still using natural earth pigments in its paints, making them durable, colour-rich and kind to the planet.
Mylands and Beata Heuman first worked together on the restoration of Beata's brand home, 188 Hammersmith Road, in 2021; Beata selected existing Mylands colours and developed bespoke shades, after which a collaborative collection was a natural next step, the two companies bringing all they'd learned and created together into a concise, timeless collection.
Each of the 24 trusted shades has been carefully honed and tested to work in most settings, in different combinations and cohesively as a whole; though curated and succinct, the collection is versatile and full of possibility. When choosing the best paint colours for home, the choice is almost limitless, so this collection is designed as an edited range that's easy to navigate and decorate with, and to return to again and again.
