Mum 'de-Hinches' her home with pastel colours after getting fed up of grey

A mum decided to 'de- Hinch ' her home with an array of pastel colours after getting tired of grey after realising it looked "lifeless".

Becca Jaynes was once a huge fan of Mrs Hinch and painted her walls grey and white to match her famous colour scheme.

But after a while, she was fed up with the monotone palette, and has now completely transformed her home in Gloucestershire.

She decided to use bold patterns teamed up with quirky statement pieces to bring life to her home, adding that it helped cheer her up in Lockdown.

The walls got a fresh lick of paint, and new decorations were hung up (@copperscave / CATERS NEWS)

What do you think of Becca's house transformation? Let us know in the comments...

Becca said: "My sister in law introduced me to Mrs Hinch, so I followed the trend and painted the walls grey and white but it just wasn't me.

"I'm a keen runner and all my running gear was so colourful I would look like a stick of rock, but then my house was just grey.

"I started to follow colourful accounts on Instagram and I was inspired. In lockdown, I decided I wanted something brighter and happier.

"So I bought lots of tester pots and just went for it.

"It really has been trial and error, I can't draw and I'm not particularly artistic but I got my masking tape out and decided to paint rainbow stripes.

"I also love to get crafty and upcycle and generally just do it myself."

Becca's kitchen and dinning area is now a colourful rainbow on the walls and she has since changed her black gloss kitchen units to a bright lilac shade using vinyl stickers.

She added brightly coloured accents to compliment the new colour scheme (@copperscave / CATERS NEWS)

Becca said: "My front door was the first thing I did, I didn't want a black door anymore - it's pink and I love it.

"I love pastels because I love purple and pink."

Becca added: "A lot of the walls in the house are actually white with colour painted on and it's open plan downstairs so I don't think it's too much.

"I now have a lot of leopard print, rainbows and animal prints."

"The pastel shades help too.

Becca added: "In terms of cost, I try and do things as cheaply as possible, but I do like investment pieces too, so the house is a real mix."

"I like to bargain hunt and I love to use small businesses and independent traders who are eco-friendly."

She added: "Life is too short for all grey decor and colour makes me so much happier.

"I love my colourful home vibe, it reflects who I am."
