About
Edward Bulmer is one of Britain’s leading architectural historians, specialising in restoring and decorating historic buildings. He has become deeply involved with ecological issues and is a stylish exponent of practical sustainability in everyday living and the founder of his eponymous paint brand Edward Bulmer Natural Paint.
What started over thirty years ago as an assistant’s job in David Mlinaric’s office and then in Alec Cobbe’s studio has led to architectural and decorative commissions in the UK and Ireland as well as major works at Althorp, Home House, Chevening and many other great houses. In 2003, work on Goodwood House demanded he use only non-toxic and sustainable materials and Edward began analysing so-called ‘eco-friendly’ paint products. This led him to launch his own paint collection, Edward Bulmer Natural Paint, which is now available in over 100 colours. His paint range is not only a collection of carefully designed colours, but it is an environmental campaign to clean up the paint industry one tin at a time. Working with gentle chemistry and plant-based ingredients Edward Bulmer Natural Paint offers a sustainable alternative to modern paint which is now mostly made with petrochemical derived ingredients.
Edward has shared all his experience and knowledge in his highly acclaimed first book ‘The Colourful Past: Edward Bulmer and the English Country House’ where he takes readers on an in-depth and indulgent tour of his work in some of Britain’s finest homes including Goodwood, Pitshill House and Broughton Hall, along with his own stunning Queen Anne manor house, Court of Noke.
Edward has recently been awarded House & Garden’s prestigious Responsible Design Award, The Belgravia London ‘Friend of the Earth’ award 2023, as well as the company receiving The Grosvenor Sustainability award for 2023 and being selected as a Walpole Brand of Tomorrow 2023.
