Why grey is not a personality

In a world where social media is awash with neutral, beige and grey finteriors, it’s time to ask: where’s the fun?

Beige might be safe, but it’s also, let’s face it, a bit meh. At The Colour Rebel, I’m on a mission to help you break free from the monotony and create a home that feels as vibrant as you are.

Why Do We Default to neutrals?

Decorating in neutrals has become the go-to for so many homeowners because they think it’s easy. It’ll be easy to match everything, it’s inoffensive, and it doesn’t demand much thought. Designing a well put together neutral room - that excuses luxury needs texture and layering and complex often high budget items as simplicity can be expensive.

But here’s the kicker: even if you manage to embrace neutrals and not create a cold soulless room I- t still doesn’t tell anyone who you are. Colour, on the other hand, can tell your story, boost your mood, and turn a house into a home that feels uniquely yours.

Colour: The Mood Booster

Did you know colours influence how we feel? Bright yellows can make you feel sunny and optimistic, deep blues create calm, and rich greens ground us in nature. Imagine walking into a room that energises or soothes you depending on the palette—now that’s a space that works for you.

How to Inject Personality Without Overwhelm

Not ready to go full maximalist? That’s okay. Start small. A statement wall, colourful soft furnishings, or a boldly patterned rug can make a world of difference without committing to a total transformation. Once you see how a pop of colour can elevate your space, you might just find yourself reaching for that neon green paint after all.

Still Hesitant? Let Me Help

Choosing colour doesn’t have to be scary, and you don’t have to do it alone. My colour consultancy service is all about helping you find the shades and patterns that speak to you. Together, we’ll create a home that’s bold, beautiful, and undeniably you.
