As our flat is rented we are always slightly restricted in terms of what we can do with the walls, so I tend to make my stamp by hanging various prints, however our lovely landlord & lady have kindly offered to have the walls freshened up and we can choose the colour within reason! Cue me spending hours on Pinterest and drooling over beautifully styled rooms, mixes of rich blue walls and hanging coper pendents and minimalist scandinavian inspired wood houses.
Currently the walls are a few shades darker than magnolia, are quite scuffed and battered, so with the ceiling being 10ft+ in height I'm initially tempted to go with for a clean crisp white to make the most of the light in the room and keep it flexible for future tenants, using fabrics and artwork to give it a cosy feel. This small change has made me excited to think about all the rennovations I can do when we finally have our own home, where I can secure my toolbelt, wear a hard hat and really get to grips with creating the perfect space for my family. But for now I'll be checking paint samples and keeping my fingers crossed that it'll be white in time for Christmas.
