Miss Mustard Seed's European Collection

Here at Miss Mustard Seed’s® Milk Paint, we have colours in our palette that work well together as a collection. We will be releasing new colour collections as time goes by, and we’d like to kick off the process by re-launching our European Collection!

These gorgeous and muted shades are all inspired by the culture, architecture and food of Europe.

Mora

Mora is a whisper of a colour. It’s a soft blue with subtle casts of green. 

It’s a wonderful choice for your decor if you’re looking to add a bit of colour without it being too saturated.

Mora is a chameleon, meaning that it can change looks depending on what is nearby.
Sometimes it will lean blue, green or even grey!

Take this curvy Mora style clock for example.

When nestled up against a neutral sofa and warm jute rug, Mora appears more grey.

Our Milk Paint colour, Mora, is inspired by the town in Sweden which is famous for making the tall curvy

 clocks shown in the photo above. If you want one, better save your pennies!

See how the colour of Mora changes to more of a subtle blue/green on

this desk by MMSMP Team Member, Jenn Baker.

Like we said, it’s a chameleon!

In addition to pairing well with the other colours in our European Collection, Mora looks beautiful with Ironstone,
topped with White Wax and paired with bleached raw wood tones.
It’s a great colour choice if you are a lover of coastal style decor, or are in need of calming and soothing tone for your space.

Schloss

Schloss is a German word that means “castle”. It’s a warm and cozy
mix of grey and beige, which the paint-loving world calls “greige”.

Our founder, Marian Parsons (aka Miss Mustard Seed) grew up in Germany.
When she created Schloss, she was inspired by the warm grey colours of the stones that dotted the walls of
Germany’s famous castles.

We have another shade of grey in our line called Trophy.
It has more blue in it than Schloss. You can see how they compare below:

Schloss mixes very easily and is a great colour to try if you’re new to our
world of Milk Paint.

Because of its warmth, Schloss is an ideal colour to incorporate into your space. It’s quiet and grounding.
Accent Schloss with natural jute rugs, chunky knit throws and hand-thrown pottery.
It lends itself to all sorts of design styles like
boho, coastal, industrial farmhouse and transitional.

Schloss can be brought to the masculine side with industrial accents
like pipe shelving, metal table legs and mud-print fabrics.
It can also be soft and sweet. Imagine it in a nursery
surrounded by soft blues, greens or pinks.

Speaking of pink, let’s move on to Arabesque!

Arabesque

Edgar Degas was a famous French painter known for his impressionistic
ballerina dancers.

The dusty shade of pink on their ballerina shoes and ribbons perfectly
embodies the feel of our Arabesque.

While pink may immediately remind you of tutus and ballet slippers,
let us assure you that Arabesque is quite the sophisticated shade!
It goes well-beyond the walls of nursery rooms and little girl
furniture pieces!

If you’re a lover of mid-century modern decor and geometric prints,
then Arabesque is a shade you should seriously consider!
