Feature wall arch in the entrance hall with Simply Refresh Golden Sands

My colour story: I hid my toddler’s artwork with my own!

Jess is a blogger and content creator, and mum to a mischievous Isabella who likes to show off her artistic abilities on the walls in the hallway! Luckily, with the help of Simply Refresh, Jess was able to fix the crayon creation in a flash, and inject a little sunshine into the entrance of her home…

Every home with a toddler is bound to have had their walls scribbled on at some point. It’s almost a rite of passage! In Jess’ home, her little one took the crayons to the white walls of her hallway and left a lovely design for her mum to find. Isabella’s cute scribbles stayed there for almost a year until Jess decided it was time she got creative in this space, too.

“Our hallway was in desperate need of a revamp, refresh and some colour to brighten it up!” says Jess.

“They have a gorgeous choice of colours in the Simply Refresh range, but I fell in love with this yellow.”

Beautiful colours for bold statements

For her quick micro makeover, Jess chose Jasmine White in Simply Refresh One Coat and Golden Sands Simply Refresh Feature Wall.

Simply Refresh is our new range of premium one-coat paint designed specifically for refreshing your space fast or creating a stunning feature wall in a flash.

Simply Refresh One Coat is available in a range of beautiful neutrals, perfect for covering your room with a new lick of paint. Jess used this to quickly cover up those crayon scribbles!

While Simply Refresh Feature Wall is a smaller tin in striking colours, ideal for statement designs, like Jess’ arch.

Best of all, both are really quick and easy to apply – just one coat and you’re done!

“It only took me an hour – so, so quick! One coat was perfect and this wall is as good as new. No more green pen in sight!” says Jess.

A doorway of sunshine

“I have adored seeing archways and wanted to give it a shot,” says Jess.

For tips on how to create the feature arch, Jess checked out Dr Dulux’s video guide.

“This trick is brilliant! You use a piece of string and centre it and use it to create a perfect arch. I was so impressed I managed this first time!”

“One coat and just a couple of hours and we have a beautiful entrance.”
