Bland? Maybe. But it looks neat, tidy and breezy. We went an almost blue shade of white and tbh we love it. Combine it with almost sandy looking floors and dark carpets and it looks modern, and yet relaxing.

I am super partial to an exposed brick wall though! Love a bit of 90’s style but that’d look shit in my 2010s style cheap cookie cutter build.

Yeah we repainted our home from dated off-yellow colour to white and a blueish grey. One of the main reasons for decision is that there is not enough light in the house, so more white surfaces means more reflective light.

It worked, and the house still retains its colonial-era look, but with a more modern colour scheme.
