Only Bright Colours

When I saw the first picture of this home I thought, teens of course. I was quite surprised to learn that this bright and shiny home belongs to a recently retired English lady.

When Gitte moved to her new home, she brought next to no furniture. She says: ‘Moving without furniture is liberating. I’m always trying new things. The results can be chaotic as I am messy by nature. I have learned to live with my ‘disorder’ by creating systems so I can find every little thing.'
Rolls of fabric sit on hooks above the door, pens are in pots hooked on a rail system, notes are fixed to magnetic boards and boxes on open shelving are colour-coded. ‘Changing the colours in my home energises me. I love getting out my paint and roller and colouring a table top or shelves. You should feel free to change your home to suit how you live.’


























Something different today. Hope you enjoyed visiting Gitte's home. Would love to hear your feedback!
