I de-Hinched my boring grey home for just £50 using tester pots & frog tape – now it’s leopard print & rainbows

“I’d had enough of everywhere looking lifeless and colourless.

“I needed my home to reflect my bright personality and I needed colour.

“It’s gone from colourless to colourful and I love it.”

The secondary school teacher explains that her interior décor went from a new build magnolia to an Instagram friendly grey - until she decided to put her stamp on it.

She said: “We bought it as a new build back in 2012 and everything was painted magnolia.”

“It’s an end terraced town house and we didn’t do anything to it for over a year and it was very bland.

“I wanted to put my personality in the house, but I worked full time and didn’t really have time to think about my own individual style.

“My sister in law introduced me to Mrs Hinch, so I followed the trend and painted the walls grey and white but it just wasn’t me.”

Becca instead decided to use bold patterns teamed up with quirky statement pieces to bring life to her home.

She is now much happier with her pastel themed, maximalist décor.

She said: “I’m a keen runner and all my running gear was so colourful I would look like a stick of rock, but then my house was just grey.

“I started to follow colourful accounts on Instagram and I was inspired.

“In lockdown, I decided I wanted something brighter and happier.

“So I bought lots of tester pots and just went for it.

“It really has been trial and error, I can’t draw and I’m not particularly artistic but I got my masking tape out and decided to paint rainbow stripes.

“I also love to get crafty and upcycle and generally just do it myself.

Becca’s kitchen and dining area is now a colourful rainbow on the walls and she has since changed her black gloss kitchen units to a bright lilac shade using vinyl stickers.

Becca said: “My front door was the first thing I did, I didn’t want a black door anymore – it’s pink and I love it.

“I love pastels because I love purple and pink.”

Becca added: “A lot of the walls in the house are actually white with colour painted on and it’s open plan downstairs so I don’t think it’s too much.

“I now have a lot of leopard print, rainbows and animal prints.”

“The pastel shades help too and its splashes of colour rather over the top.”

Becca added: “The kids absolutely love it, my youngest is so animated she gets so excited by it but colour isn’t only for children.

“I want to encourage them to be themselves, express themselves and don’t just do something because everyone is doing it.”

“My kids love my style. I’m encouraging them to be themselves and express themselves.”

Becca added: “In terms of cost, I try and do things as cheaply as possible, but I do like investment pieces too, so the house is a real mix."

“I like to bargain hunt and I love to use small businesses and independent traders who are eco-friendly.”

She added: “Life is too short for all grey décor and colour makes me so much happier.

“I love my colourful home vibe, it reflects who I am.”
