While browsing the Nester’s list of 31 Days participants, a single button stood out and invited a closer look. I clicked, and was delighted to find a beautiful blog that was new to me: Lindsay’s The Story of Home. She’s running an inspiring 31 Days series all about color, and it’s been a wonderful resource for anyone wanting to bring more confidence and creativity to their home palette.
If picking colors for your rooms leaves you feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or stuck, Lindsay’s series is a calm, intelligent place to start. The posts cover practical tips for choosing paint and textiles, offer inspirational examples, and address the common fears that hold people back from experimenting with color. One post in particular — Day 2: The Importance of Color — features several memorable quotes that speak directly to the anxiety many of us feel when contemplating bold choices. Those quotes emphasize that taking creative risks can lead to rooms that truly reflect personality and warmth.
What I appreciate most about the series is the blend of visual inspiration and actionable advice. Each entry delivers fresh ideas for color palettes, combinations, and accents, along with sensible guidance on how to test hues in your own home. Instead of vague directives, the posts show realistic examples and explain how light, scale, and surrounding finishes influence the way color reads in a space. That kind of guidance is immensely helpful for anyone trying to move past indecision and toward an outcome they love.
I’ve made a habit of stopping by daily for new color inspiration and practical tips. The series encourages small experiments — a painted door, a colorful throw, or a curated artwork — as low-risk ways to discover what resonates. Because color can be both expressive and functional, the posts balance aesthetics with how choices affect mood and room flow. Whether you’re renovating a single room or just refreshing your living space, the ideas are adaptable and approachable.
If you’ve been avoiding color because it feels risky or because you don’t know where to start, Lindsay’s thoughtful approach will likely ease that fear. Her recommendations are geared toward helping readers experiment in manageable ways and build confidence one step at a time. The combination of carefully chosen visuals, concise how-to notes, and encouraging commentary makes the series a useful toolbox for anyone wanting to make their home more personal through color.
Have a wonderful weekend, and if you’re curious about exploring color more intentionally, consider following along with a series like this one — small, steady steps often lead to the most satisfying results.
