We think about colour differently
Atelier Ellis makes natural, breathable, bio-based paint and colour to help people tell their story of home.
Founded by Cassandra Ellis in 2018, we are a human-scale business that looks for reminders of humanity in everything we do.
We are an independent maker of colour, formulating, making, and selling our own exceptional quality paint.
The 120 colours that make up our collection reflect a new classicism that is neither minimalist nor traditional. Embracing a simple-useful-beautiful aesthetic, the colours are deeply rooted in the natural world, as well as personal memories, marks, and fragments.
Inspired by the way we live in nature, in cities and society, the distinctive shades are designed to create quiet, joyful backdrops to people’s homes and lives, helping them tell their unique stories of home in the way they choose.
We research and craft colours that feel human – complex and deep, but also quiet and cocooning. They are designed to create the perfect backdrop and a framework for creating the stories that place people at the centre of their home.
“We believe everyone should be able to live in a joyous, safe and beautiful home that tells their story. Where and how we live is unique and I want our colours to help you find your joy, your haven and your personal narrative.”
We believe in responsible production and accountability and are transparent with the materials and processes we use today. And we are always questioning and seeking – asking how we can continue to make it better in the future. This approach has resulted in our bio-based True Matt Emulsion, which is better for people and their homes.
We hope you find inspiration here to help you make your home perfect for the way you want to live. And we’d love to be part of your story, not just today, but for many years to come.
