Create with Crown

Niamh and Ollie’s Luxurious Bathroom Oasis

We’ve shared a couple Crown projects by some of our wonderful customers and here’s another fabulous project that has really wowed us! Niamh and her husband Ollie recently moved into their gorgeous home in the Irish countryside and rejuvenated their bathroom in a deep navy shade from Crown, called Ink Blue. The rich blue has been coupled with stylish gold accents and a beautifully patterned tile floor to give a luxurious look we’ve fallen in love with.

Niamh talks to us about her bathroom project below.

How would you describe your design style?

It’s mostly traditional with a splash of contemporary in there too.

What formula did you use?

We went for a Matt finish because it just seemed to suit the room better.

What inspired you to choose the colour you did?

When we picked our floor tile I immediately knew that I wanted a colour on the walls that would make it pop but that would also make a bold statement of its own. We went with Ink Blue and it has surpassed our expectations, it has also brought a level of tranquility to the room which was exactly what we wanted!

How did you find the paint to work with?

I can’t take the credit for the actual painting of the room as it was done by my mother, who said it was so easy to work with and had the room completed in no time!

How do you like your new space?

We absolutely love it, it is so relaxing to be in. It is also just off our main entrance hall and we leave the door open because it brings so much to the space, I know that sounds crazy because it’s just a bathroom but trust me the bold colour of Ink Blue in there against the white walls of our hallway is stunning!

Thanks very much to Niamh and Ollie for sharing their design journey with us! We’re huge fans of everything Niamh does (we always look forward to her posts!) and we highly recommend giving Niamh a follow on Instagram (@our_self_build) to stay updated on all of her dreamy design endeavours.

We always feel honoured when you choose to use Crown Paints in your home. We love seeing your gorgeous creations and the ways in which you make Crown your very own. We thought we’d share a few lovely home projects with you that some of our very talented customers have completed in recent months. We’ve already shown you Paul Kinsella’s stunning Mobile Home Makeover in West Cork, and this week we have another gorgeous project from Stephanie Daly of @interiorsx2 (be sure to follow for some fantastic inspiration). The kitchen is surely the heart of the home, and we love seeing designs that embrace colour in the kitchen- and Stephanie has surely taken the plunge with one of our blue and just-the-right-amount-of-bold shades. Stephanie incorporated the colour perfectly and, as you’ll see below, it has had an instant impact on the space. Stephanie clearly has a strong eye for colour and we think this stylish addition to her home is an excellent choice that perfectly mixes classic and contemporary. Read on to find out what she had to say about the process!

Create with Crown: Paul Kinsella

29 September 2020

It’s safe to say that we’ve all had a very strange 2020 thus far. One of the ways we’ve been trying to make the best out of this “new normal” is by using our creativity to produce beautiful spaces around the home. Not only does this give us something beautiful to look at and appreciate during our time at home (where we’re spending much more time than usual these days) but the process of seeing our meaningful creation through to fruition is cathartic in itself. For the next couple of months, we’ll be sharing some gorgeous Crown projects that have been thoughtfully completed by some of our talented customers. We’re kicking things off with an absolutely show stopping Mobile Home Makeover in West Cork by the talented Paul Kinsella, whom you may know from his dreamy Instagram account @lifeatno2 (if you haven’t already- we highly suggest you check it out, and be prepared to drool). We asked Paul a few questions about his West Cork mobile home transformation, and it’s safe to say we are feeling more inspired and confident than ever after hearing what he had to say! We think you will too.
