A Guide to Using Bold Colour in DIYs, Design Projects, and Real Homes
These colour palettes are creative fuel. They’re here for DIY projects, design ideas, half-formed thoughts, and the urge to try something even if you’re not sure how it’ll turn out.
Little Gritty Home is my space to live creatively, make a mess, trust my eye, and build things imperfectly, but with intention. This guide exists to spark ideas, loosen the rules, and remind you that colour is often the easiest way to start when you need momentum.
