I love colourful houses/ decor.

I spend a lot of time on Instagram looking for inspiration, and there are some amazing houses out there.

Anyone here a fan of the bold, colourful and eclectic?

Yes,yes and yes! My house is colourful. Absolutely beautiful when sunlight is streaming through. I too enjoy looking at colourful homes on Pinterest and Instagram

MySaladDaysAreGone · 16/02/2022 11:58

yes - love them!

ofwarren · 16/02/2022 11:59

I love them too
Absolutely hated the grey phase and the minimalist style.

marmiteloversunite · 16/02/2022 12:02

Yes! I live in a new build so added lots of colour to give it some individuality and character.

LemonViolet · 16/02/2022 14:31

Yes! Have loved photos of your house you’ve posted on other threads OP you have lovely style.

However I never feel this forum is massively enthusiastic on colour overall unless it’s from a limited selection from F&B and the like! Maybe just my personal bias though. More is more.

Do you have any instas you particularly rate?

I’m not hugely an insta person so I’ll just look for hashtags usually.

Pinchofnom · 16/02/2022 14:33

Me although I like bright and not dark (gothic) colours. Swing between loving maximalism and minimalism (not Scandi though)

BowerOfBramble · 16/02/2022 14:37

I'd love to have a brightly coloured house! Any pics for inspiration (either yours or other people's)?

pateu · 16/02/2022 14:38

my fave

Pallisers · 16/02/2022 14:42

Yes. Kit Kemp is our inspiration.

Hello Dave haven’t seen you about for a while
Yy love colour, my kitchen is mish mash of colour & pattern.
Currently planning my new bathroom & lusting after some really colourful & dramatic wallpaper.

FatFilledTrottyPuss · 16/02/2022 14:58

Oh god yes. In fact just this morning I’ve been at mums clearing out some of my college art work and found some mood boards where I’d stuck pictures of Verner Panton’s house in Basel.
It’s possibly a bit too much for DH unfortunately Wink

Huzzah! Fellow colour-lovers!

Hiya @dontcallmelen..hows things? I name changed a couple of times, but haven't been posting as much.

Thanks @LemonViolet ! I'm sure my style isn't to everyone's taste, but I just cannot help myself!

Love those pics @FatFilledTrottyPuss..love a dark and moody style too...gorgeous.

Anyone here brave enough to share some pics of their colourful abodes? I can recommend some IG accounts to look at, but actually really like to see 'real' peoples style too..in that I mean not always beautifully lit and arranged!

All good thank you Dave glad you are ok as well, how’s the house renovation coming along?

Hebeee · 16/02/2022 15:16

Love colourful homes here too! DH and I were maximalists and lovers of interestingly coloured/decorated homes long before I knew such a term existed, lol!

We both have backgrounds in design fields and have collected stuff for our home forever too.

Our style definitely wouldn't be to everyone's taste though 😉

EvilPea · 16/02/2022 15:18

I saw a stunning house once.
Bright yellow painted door, bee shaped door knocker. Tons of colourful flowers down the path.
Beautiful.

DavetheCat2001 · 16/02/2022 15:26

Thinking of this wallpaper for our new downstairs loo.

@dontcallmelen it's coming along but so slowwwwwwly! We have really limited funds so are doing a lot of the work ourselves, which obviously takes time when you trow in 2 kids and 2 full time jobs!

My DH has recently helped 2 separate people decorate their houses, grey and grey. I'm loving this thread. I want any colour as long as it's not grey. I love the orange headboard linked above

Hebeee · 16/02/2022 15:30

Here's a few of our current house 😃

Hooray I've found my people! It was once all magnolia, now it's all grey. Everyone's house the same colour, like every car is silver. My living room is bright yellow with different coloured sofas. It makes me happy just being in it.

dontcallmelen · 16/02/2022 15:33

Ooh love the lamp
Here is a corner of my kitchen, probably a bit twee for some people but it makes me happy.

hebee beautiful love it

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 16/02/2022 15:35

Me, I love colour! Starting to think about changing the dining room into a kitchen and every picture I have pinned is bright (and an awful lot of them are pink - not sure I'm brave enough for pink units!).

DavetheCat2001 · 16/02/2022 15:40

Love that Len! Gorgeous colours!

@Hebeee love your style!
