We create natural, breathable, bio-based colour and paint to help tell your story of home.
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. 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.
Maps of Colour
Somewhere in that gathering of ‘things’ will be you, your home and the colours you want to live with.
For every colour in our natural paint collection, we have arranged a family of eight that we know will work together beautifully. Two whites, two neutrals, two mid-tones, a deep and a surprise. You may want to use all of them or just two, but knowing that this colour leads to that colour, should lead you down a more creatively fulfilling pathway.
Like a beautiful map of colour it also means you are at the centre of it all – which is the best path we can each take.
Atelier Ellis x The Hepworth Wakefield
Molten chocolate, full-fat milk, grass that is greener, the visceral pink of bone marrow and the quiet, deep of the night. Colours for everyone, in art and at home.
Introducing a creative partnership with The Hepworth Wakefield for the Spring/Summer 2025 exhibition season.
A collection of seven bespoke colours for the exhibitions of Helen Chadwick and Caroline Walker, which will be on view at The Hepworth Wakefield until the 27 October 2025.
Working closely with the exhibition curators, the colours have each been specially created to respond to the artists’ work. Chadwick’s practice embraces the sensuous aspects of the natural world and often incorporates unexpected mediums, such as chocolate, flowers, snow and milk, while Caroline Walker’s intimate paintings offer a lens into the everyday lives of women.
The palette has been meticulously crafted to enhance the viewing experience of the exhibitions, in quiet support of the curatorial expertise
These colours are available to order in all Atelier Ellis finishes and 10% of proceeds are going to support the gallery.

Why Home is never finished
We all dream of the perfect moment of home happiness. It takes place in an impeccable room, which is beautifully nestled inside a flawless house. A static moment hoped for at a distinct point in our fluid life. And so we mood board, Pinterest, plan, budget and spend our hard earned savings and hopes on a well-designed house that will deliver this perfection to us.
Except that in the interim our lives may have changed. Or more importantly what we want from our lives and our shelter may have changed.
Often when we prepare for renovations, we are already at a memory marker point in our life. Our first home, first ‘big’ home, or our potential last home are physical manifestations of where our emotional lives are. So, a kitchen extension may just be that, but it also might be imagined in preparation for having a family and gathering around a table. And this may be a tangible reflection of something you had growing up – or something you didn’t. It is of course easier to focus on choosing worktops, than wondering why you want/need this extension.
