Summer in 3 photos

While I was taking a break over the summer, I had in the back of my mind what I might write for this blog post. I decided I’d aim to capture three photos of something wonderfully colourful and share them with you—simply for the joy of it!

So here is my summer, in just 3 photos!

Firstly, what’s not to love about this rainbow garden. This is in the pleasure gardens at Pecorama in Devon. You can stand on a balcony above and look out to sea, or gaze down at this rainbow made up of flowers, hedges and glass beads. We have been several times and every time we are excited to see it again! It’s clever, beautiful and happy. We loved it.

Next up, we saw so many colourful houses this summer! This was one we were staying in, but every house along the row was painted a different colour. There’s something intrinsically joyful about walking down a street lined with houses in different colours! My eldest son used to love watching Balamory when he was little and it definitely reminded me of this!

Finally, this piece of graffiti really caught my eye. I spotted it along a footpath in Bridport, Dorset, and it sums up everything I aim for with my interiors business, my home, and my social media: more colour. If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know how passionate I am about using colour and encouraging others to do the same. Surrounding ourselves with the right colours has so many benefits.

Over the summer, I had an update from a client who’s in the middle of lots of redecorating. She told me her living room used to feel uncomfortable because the colours just weren’t right for her. Now, it’s cosy, feels ‘just right,’ and has become a space the whole family can relax in and enjoy. Hearing that truly made my heart sing! Here’s to more colour.
