Create with Crown: Shauna Morgan

We always love seeing the gorgeous projects that our customers create using our range of products. We recently came across Shauna Morgan’s stunning living room mini makeover on Instagram, and wanted to get more information on Shauna’s process and inspiration.

Shauna used the shade ‘Movement’ from our Elle Decoration range to create a tranquil and contemporary space that we’d be very happy to spend some time relaxing in. She expertly paired the dark blue wall colour with warm wood tones and gold accessories, which play beautifully off each other.

As you may know, sunny yellows with strinking blues is one of our favourite colour combinations, and Shauna chose a stylish yellow ottoman that certainly pops. The addition of a patterned area rug that incorporates the surrounding colours makes for a flawless finish to the room. It is certainly a feast for our eyes!

We asked Shauna some more questions about this fun and fabulous interior retreat. Read on to see what she had to say…

How would you describe your design style?

Probably mid-century modern with a hint of scandi in there!

What Crown colours did you choose?

I used ‘movement’ from the Elle decoration collection on the back wall of the living room. I initially was only going to use it on the protruding wall above the fireplace but it turned out so nice, I covered the entire wall.

After

What inspired you to choose the colour(s) you did?

I am obsessed with navy blues and deep green shades at the moment. Before I moved into my house I had done a painting using mainly blue and yellow shades and I knew I wanted a paint shade that would match this. It took a lot of testers before I found the right one! The deep, dark blue of this paint worked perfectly. I found the shade to be warming, moody and inviting. Perfect for a cosy space!

How did you find the paint to work with?

Perfect, it went on smoothly, I just used two coats and I had it finished in no time. It was very satisfying!

After

How do you like your new space?

I Love it! I have to say, I am still tempted to paint the remaining white walls with this navy shade, but we will see…. It has really added character to the room and makes it stand out. A lot of the time it takes me a while to get used to a new colour on the walls but I loved this one straight away.

Any other thoughts/details you’d like to share about your project?

Always use testers! I had a different shade of blue on this wall before and I really didn’t like it. Be patient, try out different shades until you find your match.

Thanks very much, Shauna for sharing a piece of your home with us, along with some fantastic design advice! We highly recommend you give Shauna a follow on Instagram at @beeinspiredinteriordesign for loads of wonderful design inspiration and lifestyle loveliness.

Niamh and Ollie’s Luxurious Bathroom Oasis

10 November 2020

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.

Create with Crown: Stephanie Daly

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!
