Living room

-

‘ The living room had old, floral wallpaper and magnolia-painted walls. It also had cheap laminate flooring that has been down for ages but I wasn’t in a position to replace it when I did the rest of the room makeover. It’s a really big room with an Artex ceiling, so it’s quite tricky to get right and, as such, it’s had a few different looks. I removed the wallpaper and painted the room green, but it felt too cold. Then, I put up panelling and painted it dark blue but, again, it was too cold and dark. I finally realised I wanted something a little more calming. Now, it’s a gentle orange colour that is still fun, but much more mellow.

The floor will eventually be replaced but, in the meantime, I love having the cosy rug to bring the whole scheme together.’

I feel incredibly grateful to have a home I can have fun with
