Soulful Spaces

Inspired by Charleston

Jotun's 2026 colour chart draws inspiration from Charleston Farmhouse — once a vibrant home to the Bloomsbury Group — where creativity, colour and personal expression flourished.

These colours, along with others in the 2026 collection, capture timeless tradition and history inspired by the break of dawn, shaped by nature itself, from earth, sand, soil, trees and plants.
