Repainting an Older Home in Soft Colours
High ceilings, wooden window frames and glazed double doors. The walls got soft colours, with a grey-blue band along the bottom.
Step by step
1. During the painting
The lower part of the walls was painted grey-blue, with a thin line separating it from the lighter colour above, as suits an older house.
2. The doors
The grey wooden doors with their glass panes tie in with the band on the wall.
3. The bedroom
In the bedroom the walls got a soft lilac that shows off the tall windows.
4. The kitchen
In the kitchen the wall is split into two tones, with the darker colour at the bottom, where it gets dirty more easily.
5. The staircase
The internal staircase has grey steps and light walls, in the same tones as the rest of the house.
6. The ceiling
On the ceiling, the old decorative frame is white and stands out from the colour around it.
7. The hallway
From room to room, the same few colours repeat and pull the whole house together.
8. The result
A bright home that kept its character, with fresh paint in every room.
