Found a wallpaper you love… but stuck on what paint colour to pair with it?

We’ve taken the Kirkham Check Wallpaper in Neutral by Holden Decor and put three very different paint colours alongside it to show just how much the pairing can change the overall feel.

Drop Cloth – warm, soft and beautifully neutral
De Nimes – a deeper blue for more contrast
Dulux Heritage Slate – a sophisticated, muted pairing

Kirkham Check has a lovely woven effect finish and classic check design, giving you pattern and texture while still feeling relaxed and easy to style.

So, which pairing gets your vote — 1, 2 or 3? 👇

Choosing your paint colour is only HALF the decision… what about the sheen?

The sheen level affects how much light your paint reflects, how the finish looks on the wall and depending on the product, how practical it can be.

Here’s my quick guide:

🎨 Matt – less than 10% sheen
A flatter finish with very little light reflection. Great when you want that soft, modern matt look.

🎨 Eggshell – around 15–18% sheen
A slight sheen with a more durable feel, a good middle ground if you don’t want anything too shiny.

🎨 Soft Sheen – around 30–40% sheen
More noticeable when the light hits it, giving the surface a subtle shimmer.

🎨 Silk – higher sheen
A much more noticeable finish that’s very washable, although the extra light reflection can highlight imperfections and marks on the surface more easily.

One thing to remember: higher sheen doesn’t automatically mean “better”” it’s about choosing the right finish for the room, surface and look you want.

Let us know if you have a go to finish.

Love green interiors but can’t decide on the perfect shade?

From deep and dramatic to soft and earthy, green is such a versatile colour and these shades show how different it can look around your home.

NTB47 - A rich, smoky green that’s perfect for creating a cosy, inviting living room. Think warmth, depth and plenty of character.

NTB79 - A beautiful muted green that brings a timeless feel to panelling. We love this one for adding colour to a utility.

Dulux Heritage DH Drab - A soft, earthy green with understated elegance. Gorgeous in a traditional bathroom paired with shutters and a freestanding bath.

There greens, three very different looks.

Same room. Same colours. Completely different feel

Where you put a darker paint colour can completely change how a room feels.
We’ve used Little Greene Rolling Fog Light as our neutral base and Broccoli Brown to show the difference:
🤎 On the fireplace wall – draws your eye to the end of the room, creating a strong focal point and adding depth.
🤎 Colour drenched – taking the deeper colour across the walls, woodwork and ceiling softens the boundaries of the room and creates a much more enveloping, cocooning feel.
🤎 On the two side walls – brings the walls visually closer, making a larger room feel narrower, cosier and more intimate.

It’s a great reminder that choosing your colour is only half the decision — where you paint it can change the whole room.
Which would you choose: feature wall, side walls or full colour drench? 👇

Can I have satin gloss?

Well… you’re going to have to choose!

Satin and gloss aren’t types of paint, they describe the sheen level or finish of the paint.

What you’re actually looking for when painting skirting boards, doors, architraves and other interior woodwork is a woodwork or trim paint and then you choose the finish you want.

✨ Gloss = higher shine
✨ Satin = softer, mid-sheen finish

And here’s the important bit: sheen and durability aren’t the same thing.

You don’t need to choose gloss just because you think it’ll be tougher. Modern satin and lower sheen woodwork paints can still offer excellent durability. So you can choose the finish you actually prefer.

Are you team SATIN or team GLOSS? 👇

Struggling with condensation, moisture or mould in your home?

Don’t just reach for something because it says “bathroom paint” on the tin. Look at what the paint is actually designed to do.

Zinsser Perma White is specifically designed for high humidity areas and has a mould resistant finish, making it a great option for bathrooms and other moisture prone areas in UK homes.

Despite the name, Perma White doesn’t have to be white!

We can colour match Zinsser Perma White, so you can choose a colour you love without compromising on the specialist performance you need.

Remember, specialist paint can help protect the decorated surface but if you have persistent condensation or mould, it’s important to tackle the underlying moisture or ventilation issue too.

Save this one for your next bathroom makeover.

A DITL… my 5–9 before my 9–5! 🤣⏰

After yesterday’s DPD global outage left a trail of chaos behind, I decided to sneak in an early shift before swapping with Matt for my Wednesday with Hallie (which is arguably a harder shift anyway 🤣).

Our store is an old 1902 Co-op building and I can confirm it’s TERRIFYING in the dark 😅👻

Thankfully, some of our lovely team came in early too and everyone mucked in to help get us back on top! ❤️

I’m usually showing you warehouse life, so here’s a little peek behind the scenes at our store instead!

Naturally, I got distracted, forgot to film half of it and ended up late for swimming 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

But I’ve thrown in a cheeky sneak peek of our NEW warehouse and the signage we signed off this week to make up for it! 👀🎨

Where do you actually start when you’re ready to paint a room?

Everyone has their own way of working, but for me, I like to start at the top and work my way down!

One thing I should say first though… this is once all your prep is done. Any filling, sanding, cleaning and priming should come before you start getting your paint on.

I’ll usually start with the ceiling, mainly because ceiling paint has a habit of getting everywhere I’d much rather get a few splashes on walls I haven’t painted yet than on my lovely freshly finished ones!

And long-term followers might remember my mam’s handy trick for painting ceilings… wear a shower cap to protect your hair! 😂

Once the ceiling is finished and dry, I’ll move onto the walls, then I like to save the woodwork until last.

Some decorators prefer to do their woodwork before their walls, and that’s absolutely fine too. There isn’t one set way you HAVE to decorate a room. This is just the order I find easiest, and the one I’d recommend if you’re not quite sure where to start.

And my biggest tip? Don’t rush from one stage to the next. Give your paint enough time to dry, especially if you’re going to be masking or working close to an area you’ve just painted.

Once you get into the habit of working through a room in an order, it all starts to feel much less daunting!
