A Colourful Family Home: Adding character to a new-build through colour and considered furniture

This colourful family home project by NB Interiors was given a renewed sense of character through the considered use of wallpaper, texture and furniture, selected to suit both the scale of the rooms and the family’s lifestyle.

The brief was to move away from the neutral, generic feel often associated with new builds and create a home that felt warm, layered and personal.

Having lived in the house for some time, the clients felt the interiors were not working for them. Furniture carried over from their previous home felt ill-suited to the new layout, storage was limited, and the spaces lacked cohesion and personality. A full review of the ground floor allowed the layout and function of each room to be refined, ensuring the home worked harder for day-to-day family life.

Updated wall colours and wallpapers introduced depth and interest, while new, carefully proportioned furniture helped to anchor each space and create a more fluid, cohesive feel throughout the downstairs. Practical design solutions were seamlessly integrated, from defined areas for coats and storage to a more inviting living space designed for relaxed entertaining.

The work focused on the ground floor, including the open-plan hallway and dining area and the living area within the open-plan kitchen and living room. The result is a warm, colourful and thoughtfully considered family home that now feels both functional and distinctly the family’s own.
