Interview Episode: Francesca Wezel from Francesca's Paints
Are you ready for a masterclass in colour?
This week, I was lucky enough to interview Francesca Wezel, the founder of Francesca’s Paints. Francesca’s Paints was started in November 1996 and is one of the first eco-friendly paint companies in the UK. Francesca swapped her musical ambitions for a passion for colors after a serendipitous encounter in Australia, transforming her life and career. Her story is a testament to following your passion and embracing unexpected opportunities, as she shares how her love for yoga and travels through India have inspired many of her unique color collections.
Francesca has a true talent for making and combining colours and textures, and colour matching. Since discovering her passion for paint, she’s travelled the world looking for colours, their origins and their uses.
For this interview I visited Francesca in her London workshop, a wonderfully creative space. An artisan, an expert in her field, and a story teller, I just love just how Francesca talks about her work. Her passion is infectious and her stories captivating and she’s always championing women in her unique way – through colour.
In this episode we explore the emotional connections people form with color, and how these hues can transform the ambiance of a home. Francesca offers a tonne of valuable insights on selecting colours for your home that resonate personally, emphasising the importance of trusting instincts over trends.
This episode holds a wealth of inspiration and guidance for anyone looking to bring color into their home!
