Bright spare bedroom in Simply Refresh Timeless and Tranquil Dawn

My Colour Story: I turned a tragic spare room into a stylish guest suite

We’ve all been there. The spare bedroom easily becomes a dumping ground for anything we’re not quite ready to throw away, but can’t find a home for. Since moving into her house, vlogger Sarah had been using her spare room as storage too, until now. With the help of Simply Refresh, she was able to transform her space quickly and easily.

Ready, set, guests!

For many of us, a spare room means room for guests to stay. So Sarah was really excited to finally get the space sorted so that she could invite friends and family to come and stay again.

Quick and simple can still be stylish…

The spare room is often left until last because we run out of time and energy to get decorating again. Which is why the Simply Refresh One Coat range is perfect. Its unique formula means one coat is all you need to totally transform your rooms. That means less time spent painting and more time spent enjoying your new space.

With 30 stunning modern neutrals in Simply Refresh One Coat to choose from, and 15 striking colours to choose from in the Simply Refresh Feature Wall collection, you can easily create a look you’ll love.

“Dulux Simply Refresh is a new premium finish range that lets you update your home in less time because it goes on so well, covering your walls beautifully in just one coat. Very helpful when you find decorating a bit of an overwhelming thought!” says Sarah.

A tranquil and timeless transformation

“I used Dulux Simply Refresh One Coat, Timeless and Tranquil Dawn, to create the exact look I was hoping for. Bringing calm, but also cosy, into a room that will get used a lot,” says Sarah.

Sarah expertly painted a split wall effect using Tranquil Dawn on the bottom part of the wall and Timeless on the top section. This created a bright and airy spare bedroom, and the perfect for guests to stay.

Simply Refresh makes a decorating project so simple that you even have time to get creative - a split wall design suddenly didn’t feel like such a tough idea to tackle!
