The project:
I transformed a plain pantry wall into a colourful feature using bold geometric shapes inspired by modern Scandinavian design. The nature-inspired colour palette brings warmth and personality to an otherwise blank space, creating a simple yet striking focal point. This affordable DIY shows how a fresh coat of paint can completely transform the look. The design has also been planned with future functionality in mind, with timber shelves to be added later for practical storage while maintaining the clean, modern aesthetic.
