Wimbledon Inspired Colour Schemes

Inspiration can strike from just about anywhere and with Wimbledon in full swing, we couldn’t help but take design cues from one of the most iconic sporting events of the summer. From the pristine whites of tennis uniforms to the lush greens of Murray Mound and the sweet charm of strawberries and cream, Wimbledon offers more than just world-class sport—it’s a masterclass in timeless colour options. So, if you’re dreaming of refreshing your home with a palette that feels classic and crisp, why not look to Centre Court?

Before making a final decision on your colour palette, we always recommend putting your shortlisted shades to the test. Sample pots are a helpful way to see how each shade responds to changing light throughout the day. Taking the time to observe these changes ensures you’ll land on a colour that feels right for your home.

Looking to refresh your space this summer? We’ve pulled together three standout colour palettes inspired by the unmistakable charm of Wimbledon—perfect for bringing timeless character and seasonal style into your home.

Wimbledon Lawns: Inspired by Murray Mound

Rich, botanical greens bring depth and character to interiors, offering a sophisticated alternative to classic neutrals. Inspired by the iconic Murray Mound, earthy shades are ideal for colour drenching, accent walls, or creating intimate, cocooned spaces.

Perfect for dining rooms, studies, and smaller areas where impact is key. Pair with soft neutrals for balance, or elevate with polished wood and aged brass for a refined finish.

A Touch of Sweetness: Strawberries & Cream

Wimbledon’s most iconic duo inspires this warm and playful palette. Soft creams and vibrant reds add personality and contrast—ideal for feature walls, trims, or statement doors.

These tones bring warmth to cooler schemes and a sense of charm to more restrained palettes.

The Classic Serve: Wimbledon Whites

Crisp, clean, and endlessly versatile, Wimbledon whites offer the perfect foundation for a wide range of interiors. Timeless shades work beautifully in both contemporary and traditional spaces.

Ideal for kitchens, open-plan rooms, or anywhere a fresh, airy feel is desired. Pair with natural textures, warm metals, or subtle pastels for a layered, sophisticated look.
