Preliminary House Colour Palette

Okay, so the move to the new house is 'imminent' so it's time to start putting pen to paper with our thoughts on what we want to do to the place.

After sorting through endless amounts of paint swatches we settled on some colours which we both liked and from that we got this...


Our preliminary house colour palette, preliminary as no doubt it will change, we need to be in the space, we need to get a clearer idea of the natural lighting in each room and which walls we want as our accents.

Our vision is for a home which is calming and fresh, so instantly we thought of blues and greens, a colour I love is grey so that will definitely be featuring heavily in our home. I'm all about subtle colours as the base so out of the above it will be the more subtle colours which I want on the walls. The bursts of colour like the yellows and brighter blues would be accent colours to inject some colour and something a bit more vivid.

I want our home to flow, so the colour palette above is relevant for every room but as a general overview the main colours for each room will be:

Living Room - Column 1 (Left) Greys and whites - with decorative touches of the greens and yellows
Dining Room - Column 4 (from Left) with Column 3 colours as accents
Craft Hideaway - White with splashes of yellow and green
Kitchen - Column 3 and 4
Hallway/ Landing - I can't decide whether to stay neutral or get some colour in there!
Bathroom - Column 2
Master Bedroom - Column 5
Spare Bedroom - Who knows?!

Opinions please?!? What are your thoughts on our colour palette? Do we need to change it up a bit?

Muchos x
