What Happens When a Designer Gets Her Hands on Her Mum’s New House

Hello, lovely readers!

I hope you’re all doing well and finding plenty of inspiration in your homes! Today, I want to share a personal story that I think many of you will relate to—especially if you’ve ever gone through a home makeover. So, let’s get into it!

A few years ago, my Mum bought a beautiful new house. She fell in love with its spacious rooms, natural light, and charm, but there was one problem—the colour scheme didn’t reflect her style. While the structure was perfect, the interior needed a refresh to truly feel like home.

Naturally, as an interior designer, I was the first person she called to help bring her vision to life. We started by discussing everything from the colour palette to the mood she wanted to create in each room. After much deliberation and a few changes, we settled on a concept: a blend of calming neutrals with bold accent walls, adding warmth throughout. The goal was to make the space feel modern yet inviting—a perfect reflection of my Mum’s personality.

We carefully curated a palette that balanced contemporary and classic elements. Soft, elegant hues created a cosy, welcoming atmosphere, while vibrant feature walls added character. Even the exterior was carefully considered, with refreshing tones that complemented the home’s architecture. Every detail was chosen carefully to ensure the transformation was stylish and timeless.

Once we had the design sorted, I realised that there was something very important missing from the plan – professional help with the painting. As much as I enjoy designing and putting together a cohesive look, I knew that painting was a whole different ball game. Achieving the smooth, flawless finish we envisioned required expertise beyond my own. I knew that professional painters would make all the difference, ensuring a polished result that would elevate the space.

I decided to call in a team of experts specialising in interior and exterior painting. Their skilled approach and attention to detail made all the difference. With their help, I was able to transform the walls, both inside and out, into something stunning. From the vibrant feature walls that popped with personality to the soft, elegant hues that now grace the rooms, the whole home felt like a reflection of my Mum’s style and tastes.

Honestly, it was an eye-opening experience. Having the right team to handle the painting allowed me to focus on the overall design and styling of the space without stressing over the technicalities of the paint application. If you’ve ever tackled a home makeover yourself, you’ll know how crucial it is to have professionals on hand for certain aspects of the project. Sometimes, you just have to leave it to the experts to bring your dream home to life.

So, if you’re considering a home makeover, I highly recommend investing in residential painting services. It’s one of those things that truly makes a difference—you’ll see the impact in every room.

Now, I’d love to hear from you! Have you ever taken on a big home makeover project? What was your biggest challenge? Share your experiences in the comments below—I can’t wait to hear all about them!

Until next time, happy decorating!
