In my last house I was asked the colour of the sitting room walls so many times on Instagram that eventually, as soon as I typed the letter D on my phone, the word Downpipe would appear on its screen. These days there’s less engagement over there, but nonetheless, I thought you might find it useful if I brought all the materials, finishes and surfaces together in one place, so you can see how I decorated the whole house.

It’s quite a tight palette, as downstairs the rooms are either open-plan or have no doors, so I wanted to keep a sense of flow between the spaces. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom – and again, the colours all work together because the doors are usually open. Doing this also minimised waste as, for example, it meant I was able to choose a colour for the main bedroom ceiling and use the leftover on the bathroom ceiling. Likewise, the leftover pink from the kitchen cabinets has been used on the external windows.
