Colors Tell A Story: The BON TON goods Transformation

by Mikkel Brogger April 2, 2025

At BON TON goods, we wanted to bring the hues of the Sound into our shop. As lifelong water people—always drawn to the sea, marinas, and port cities—it was essential to surround ourselves with those tones in our space.

We created a palette of seven colors inspired by British-based Farrow & Ball, ensuring that the new shop’s layout and ambiance would be defined by these carefully chosen hues.

When we signed the lease for our new premises, we knew we were undertaking a significant transformation. The original ceilings had been hidden for decades, requiring both demolition and meticulous restoration to honor the building’s 1890s heritage. Through this process, we uncovered stunning arches and architectural details, which we carefully brought back to life.

Our Color Scheme:

Ceiling: Hague Blue No. 30, painted in a dead flat finish.

First Section: Lulworth Blue No. 89, painted in a dead flat finish.

Second Section: Chinese Blue No. 90, painted in a dead flat finish.

Third Section: Blue Ground No. 210, painted in a dead flat finish.

Columns: Green Blue No. 84, painted in a dead flat finish.

Kitchen & Powder Room: Selvedge No. 360, painted in a dead flat finish.

Floor: A warm, neutral foundation—Pavilion Gray No. 242.
