We've been living in our new home for five weeks now, and we are cherishing every moment. Each day, we wake up feeling incredibly grateful to have our family around us, and we are happy and healthy.
I've received numerous questions on social media about our house and various interior design elements. To address these inquiries, I've decided to use this blog to document the answers and provide a resource for anyone interested. If I collaborate with any businesses mentioned, I will always disclose that information.
Choosing the right paint colours for your home can transform your space and set the tone for each room.
My Approach to Selecting Paint Colours
I am going to start with paint colours as this is the most asked question. I must admit, I'm not very adventurous when it comes to colours—I prefer neutral tones. If you've ever had to choose paint colours for an entire house, you know how overwhelming it can be with the countless shades available. My advice is to trust your instincts: choose the colours that feel right to you and then move on.
Our Home’s Colour Palette
Here are the colours I chose for our home, with the expert guidance of my friend Emma from Dollybird Interiors:
All Ceilings: Slaked Lime
All Skirting & Architrave: Slaked Lime
All Doors: Slaked Lime Mid
Kitchen Units: Portland Stone Pale
Kitchen Island: Portland Stone
Kitchen/Pantry/Living Room & Lounge – All Walls: Portland Stone Dark

Choosing paint colours can be a daunting task, I know that. My advice is go with your instincts, experiment with samples, and enjoy the process. Don't stress as paint can always be changed down the line. It's not forever.
I will update this blog post with better pictures of all the rooms as soon as possible. In the meantime, I hope this helps answer some of your questions. What are your favourite paint colours for your home?
