Sometimes you walk into a house and you feel it straight away: everything just feels right here. Warmth, character and tranquillity come together in a style that feels personal and timeless. That is exactly what Juul Elisabeth has created in her new home. Using carefully chosen colours and paints, she has breathed life into her kitchen, dining room and living room. The result? An interior that feels like a warm hug.
We’ll take you through her transformation and show you how you can apply this to your own home.
A warm colour palette as a base
Juul deliberately chose a harmonious colour palette featuring soft, natural shades.
- Coy Blush a warm, powdery shade of pink
- Courtly Rose a slightly deeper, classic shade of pink
- Country Green a rich, soothing shade of green
Together, these colours create a perfectly balanced whole: warm without being overpowering, and soft without being dull.

The power of chalk paint in the kitchen
The kitchen is the heart of the home, so Juul paid particular attention to this space. She used Classico chalk-based paint in Coy Blush to give the walls a soft, matte finish.
The result? A kitchen that catches the light, radiates warmth and has an almost powdery softness. The chalk paint also creates a subtle, lively texture that perfectly complements the rustic and authentic feel of the space. The combination with the red-and-white tiles and natural materials such as wood and ceramics makes the whole look both playful and elegant.
A durable finish with Eggshell lacquer paint
For elements requiring a little more durability, such as woodwork, cupboards and doors, Juul opted for Traditional Paint Eggshell.
She used:
- Coy Blush for a soft, continuous base
- Courtly Rose to add accents and depth
- Country Green for a fresh, natural contrast
Eggshell lacquer paint has a slight sheen and is more resistant to daily wear and tear, making it ideal for living spaces such as the kitchen and dining room.
A harmonious whole in the dining room and living room
What makes this home so special is the cohesion between the spaces. Juul has deliberately used the same colours throughout the dining room and living room. In the dining room and living room, the shades of pink create a warm, inviting atmosphere, perfect for long dinners and cosy moments. In the kitchen, she combines Coy Blush with Country Green, giving the space a fresh and relaxed feel. By repeating colours but subtly varying their application, a natural flow is created throughout the house.
Styling: the finishing touch
As well as paint, styling played a key role. Juul combined her colour palette with:
- Natural materials such as wood and linen
- Vintage accessories and ceramics
- Fresh flowers and plants to add a touch of life
These elements enhance the effect of the paint and give the interior a personal and authentic feel.
Tips for creating this style yourself
Want to try your hand at this warm, rustic look? Here are Juul’s top tips:
- Choose a limited colour palette: work with 2–3 main colours that complement each other.
- Combine matt and semi-gloss paint: use chalk paint for walls and eggshell for woodwork.
- Work in layers: let colours recur subtly in different rooms.
- Add natural materials: this makes the whole look softer and less ‘contrived’.
- Dare to combine: pink and green may seem daring, but together they create a beautiful balance.
A home with character
Juul Elisabeth’s home is the perfect example of how colour and paint can completely transform a space. By choosing Coy Blush, Courtly Rose and Country Green and applying them thoughtfully, she has created a home that is not only beautiful but also truly feels like home. A place where every detail is just right, and where you’d love to stay all day long.
