How to measure
To figure out the size of your room, use a tape measure to find out how wide, long, and tall it is. Also, count how many windows and doors are in the room. Afterward, put all these numbers into the calculator.
Here's a helpful hint: If your room isn't exactly the same on all sides, add up the measurements for the parts that make up the width and length of your room.

Product details
Bassoon is a deep ochre with warm brown undertones that shifts beautifully across changing light. This Little Greene paint colour carries genuine character, moving between earthy richness and subtle warmth depending on the time of day and surrounding surfaces. Its depth makes it work particularly well alongside natural materials and softer neutrals, where the undertone remains clear without overwhelming a space. The colour responds well to both matte and chalky finishes, each bringing out different facets of its personality. At Cove & Co, we've found Bassoon works best when paired thoughtfully with complementary woodwork or as a feature that anchors a room's palette. For guidance on how this shade might suit your own interior, our colour specialists are here to help.
