The Carpenter

The role of the carpenter is to bring out the beauty of timber and in doing so, connect us to nature. That connection is more important than ever — and it can transform your home.

The calming scent of birch. The strong lines of oak. The stately elegance of teak. 
A carpenter’s art is to respect these materials, while skilfully transforming them into something even more enchanting. And because each piece of timber has its own unique qualities, each finished product reflects a distinctive character.
From the Carpenter’s Hands to Your Home
Now more than ever, we hunger for a connection with the natural world. We might live in cities towering with impressive skyscrapers — yet want a home that reflects our love of calm, classic countryside life. 
Achieving that through room decoration doesn’t have to be difficult. With the Dulux Ambiance Carpenter’s Collection range of special effect paint finishes, your walls can transform your home into a haven. 
Suddenly, a minimalist space lacking in energy can resonate with the curved patterns of timber, thanks to the Distressed Wood finish. 
Or a once-underused room can suddenly draw people to linger and chat, thanks to the rustic charm of Charred Teak. 
Whatever finish you select in this collection, you achieve more than just aesthetic beauty. You connect your home to the outdoor world, and the craft of the carpenter.

It could be linen, teak, iron — whatever you feel best expresses your taste. And in a key space, that material can be brought to life with a special effects wall finish. Think of that feature wall as the conductor, a central focus that unifies the symphony that is your home.

Beyond Furniture: Elements of Home Aesthetics

Furniture is one expression of our interior room design. Every chair and bedside table is a conscious or unconscious decision that reflects our personality. But there are other methods of house decoration that can transform the atmosphere of your rooms, and it’s important to use a range, to unify the expression of your aesthetic. Take lighting: a space lit mainly by windows feels vastly different compared to one strewn with strong, swaying accent lights. But perhaps the most underrated tool of expression is your wall: simply choosing a special effects finish with depth and texture can alter your atmosphere beautifully
