Pippa | Life at Church Farm

When we first started thinking about these two rooms, I’d originally planned on wallpapering the dining room in a grasscloth and painting the sitting room a dark blue.

The dining room is a big, walk-through space with high ceilings, and I wanted to make sure it felt inviting and cosy.

Hundreds of samples later, I quickly realised that grasscloth is expensive and wallpapering such a huge space (ceiling and all!) was going to cost a small fortune. Meanwhile, I was struggling to find the right blue paint for our sitting room, which has low ceilings and is naturally quite dark.

So we did a complete 180 and switched the schemes around!

We chose GP&J Baker’s Seedpod wallpaper in blue for the sitting room and colour drenched the dining room in Farrow & Ball’s Light Blue.

And I’m so glad we did. I absolutely love how both rooms have turned out. The wallpaper has made the sitting room feel cosy, while colour drenching the dining room has given it a slightly more contemporary feel, which I love.

Not quite what we’d originally planned, but sometimes changing your mind really does work out for the best!
