Discovering The Story of Home: A 31 Days Series on Color
While browsing a list of 31 Days participants, one particular button caught my eye. I clicked through and found a beautifully written blog I hadn’t seen before: Lindsay’s The Story of Home. She is running a full 31 Days series focused on color, and it’s a wonderful resource for anyone looking to bring more confidence, creativity, and clarity to their home’s palette.
Choosing color for your home can feel intimidating. Many people experience fear, indecision, and a sort of paralysis when faced with paint swatches and design choices. Lindsay addresses these common concerns directly in her series, offering practical advice, gentle encouragement, and inspiring examples that make taking risks with color feel much more manageable.
One particular post that stood out to me included a collection of quotes about fear, risk, and the importance of color. Those passages felt especially relevant—reminding readers that thoughtful color choices can transform a space, and that experimenting is part of the design process. If the idea of bold or unexpected hues has held you back, these posts provide a reassuring perspective and useful tips to move forward.
I’ve been visiting Lindsay’s blog regularly for daily color inspiration and actionable decorating tips. Her writing balances creativity with real-world guidance—whether you’re choosing a single accent wall, coordinating a palette across multiple rooms, or simply looking for fresh ways to layer color with textiles and accessories. The series makes color feel accessible and exciting rather than overwhelming.
Beyond inspiration, the series offers practical tips that readers can apply immediately: how to test paint in different lights, ways to pair neutrals with accent hues, and how to use color to define or enhance the mood of a room. These are helpful whether you’re planning a full repaint or simply refreshing a corner with a new throw pillow or artwork.
If you feel stuck when it comes to color—unsure of which direction to take or worried about making a mistake—this series is a gentle nudge toward experimentation. Decorating with color doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. Small changes can make a big impact, and the confidence to try something new often grows after just one successful experiment.
For anyone who enjoys home design, color theory, or simply wants approachable advice for updating their space, Lindsay’s 31 Days of Color is worth bookmarking. I’ve found her posts both motivating and practical, and I expect you will, too. Take a few minutes each day to explore the series, and you might be surprised at how quickly your ideas and confidence about color begin to evolve.
Have a wonderful weekend exploring color in your home—and don’t be afraid to play with shades that surprise you.
