THE DEPENDABLES COLLECTION
CREATED BY INTERIOR DESIGNER, BEATA HEUMAN
Mylands, the luxury British paint and wood polishes manufacturer, and leading interior designer Beata Heuman introduce The Dependables, a collection of 24 considered, vivid and reliable paint colours.
Encapsulating a palette of shades refined over decades of designing interiors, The Dependables are trusted colours you can rely on: versatile light neutrals to cover most walls, mid-tones for shadowy depth in places, darker shades to add edge and contrast, a generous sprinkling of uplifting but calming greens and blues, buttery, irresistible yellows and a sizzling pop of red to add the cherry on the cake.
Sharing the same beloved home-city of London, Beata has long admired Mylands for the quality of its paints. Mylands has been perfecting the art of fine paints for over 140 years and five generations at its factory in the heart of London, an expertise for which it was awarded a Royal Warrant in 1985.
Mylands is one of the last remaining manufacturers to still use natural earth pigments in its paints which makes them durable, colour rich and kind to the planet.

Mylands and Beata Heuman first worked together on the restoration of Beata Heuman’s brand home, 188 Hammersmith Road, in 2021. Beata selected existing Mylands colours and also developed bespoke shades, after which a collaborative collection was a natural next step, with the two companies bringing all they had learned and created together into a concise, timeless collection.

Each of the 24 trusted shades has been carefully honed and tested to ensure they work in most settings, in different combinations and cohesively as a whole. Though curated and succinct, the collection is versatile and full of possibility.
When picking the best paint colours to use at home there is an almost limitless choice available. This collection is designed to be an edited range that is easy to navigate and decorate with, and can be returned to again and again.

Beata Heuman says: “It has been my dream to do my own paint collection, I am very specific about colour, and I think about it a lot, so it has been thoroughly enjoyable expressing that and now being able to share it with a bigger audience. The team at Mylands are so enthusiastic about paint and colour, and working with Anna Steel, Head of Colour Development at Mylands, has been a crucial part of the process. When we found ourselves seven tries down in the sampling process with Cigar, even I was close to giving up! Anna kept pushing and I think that commitment to getting it right really shines through looking at the collection we’ve created.”
Dominic Myland, CEO, Mylands says: "We are delighted to be launching this beautiful palette of colours with Beata Heuman. Beata’s projects show deep consideration for colour and the art of balancing colours well, and it is exciting to have this expertise condensed into a succinct palette for everyone to use. From capturing a perfect white in No. 1 Beata White which I’m sure will be universally loved, to cheering pops of brighter hues, these colours are sophisticated and easy to use. I really appreciate her dedication to developing exactly the right shade with Anna and our team at the factory; it mirrors our own passion for creating beautiful colours that will stand the test of time.”
