We’ve had a lot of work done on the house over the last 12 months with a garden renovation and then loft conversion that led to needing to paint the hall, stars and landings. We’ve also painted the nursery for our new baby and changed our downstairs playroom into a library replacing the marked yellow walls with a lovely grey colour. Each time we paint I’m surprised at the difference it makes. Our rooms feel lighter, cleaner and just generally so much better than before.
Our living room is currently one of the worst rooms in the house. We have a dark purple feature wall, which is very patchy as we had a leak and my husband painted over the damaged patches with the wrong shade. Luckily Valspar have come to my rescue and sent us vouchers for paint and materials to redecorate the room.
My plan was to make a radical change and swap the purple for a green or yellow colour, but that would mean buying new curtains and other accessories so we’ve decided to just change the shade of purple to something less imposing and also slightly lighten the rest of the room.
What do you think of Purple Plumage and Virtue?
We’re hoping to start painting this week, so do pop back to see how we get on.
I’m really excited about using Valspar paint too, especially as they are splatter resistant ( I am not a careful painter ) and wipeable, as with 4 children we definitely need wipe clean walls!
Thank you to Valspar for having us on board
That’s really funny as I have been looking at the Valspar charts as I am in the throws of repainting my house room by room. I am definitely going to use them for my study as you can get the colour you want which is amazing.
Those colours are gorgeous. We have a tin of their bookcase collection sat at home waiting for me to paint our lounge.
I love it when a room has a new coat of paint, I’m currently waiting for my family bathroom to be painted and then we have to tackle the stairs and landing. I love the colours you have chosen, sometimes it’s nice just to go for a subtle change so you don’t have to change your soft furnishing too.
I love the purple – we had the same kind of shade a few years ago before the boys were born. It felt so homely and I quite miss it now!
I was looking at the chart and smiling as my daughter wants a unicorn wall – I think she means blue to pink ombré type effect. I’ll be needing all those shades! Love your choices and hear such good things about Valspar.
Looks really lovely! Will have to use these charts when we decorate our dining room next month x
We have just painted our hall and stairs and I am with ou on p[aint making such a difference. Our dining room and lounge are next on the list.
I have a dark purple feature wall which I need to paint over, it is just too dark – will look at Valspar as they are local to me too 🙂
