ABOUT
I’ve got some seriously colourful news to share… I’ve been featured in a book! And not just any book. It’s called The Rainbow Home: Over 200 Ideas and Tips for Adding Color to Your Home by the brilliant Laura Perryman. A total celebration of joyful interiors, bold palettes, and colour-filled living 🌈
This book is your perfect guide into a world of dopamine decor, and I’m beyond thrilled that my own happy, colourful kitchen (and my jolly Republic of Happy kitchen textiles!) have been included in it.
The Rainbow Home is like Pinterest in book form. Jammed with over 200 colourful ideas, clever DIYs, styling tips, and real-life homes that celebrate individuality and colour confidence.
In the book, Laura explores what makes a home truly a rainbow home. This might be a bold colour clash, a vibrant pop of unexpected hue, or a pattern explosion. Yes to all, please!
The book is divided by area of the home. From entryways and living spaces to home offices, outdoor spaces, and of course, kitchens. It also breaks down the power of colour into three playful groups: dopamine brights, playful pastels, and uplifting neons. You'll also find tips on how to pair colours, choose the right shades for your space, and use colour with purpose... something I’m incredibly passionate about.
Being featured in this book feels like such a full circle moment. I started Republic of Happy to bring a little Colombian sunshine into the grey skies of the UK, through bold, original prints designed to spark joy and brighten up homes.
My background as a graphic designer and colour lover goes deep, and to be recognised in a book that celebrates the emotional power of colour is a total dream. It’s also incredibly special to be featured alongside so many talented creatives and colourful home accounts I admire 💛
Laura Perryman is a globally respected colour and material design consultant with over 15 years of experience. Her work has been featured in Architectural Digest, House & Garden, and more, and she regularly lectures at design schools and events around the world.
Her ethos? Colour should be used with purpose. To uplift, connect, and create environments that are not only beautiful but meaningful. A girl after my own heart!
So, if you're redecorating, craving more colour in your life, or just want to feel inspired, The Rainbow Home would be an amazing addition to your coffee table. It’s the kind of book you’ll flip through again and again, especially if you’re looking for ideas to make your home feel more YOU! 🙌🏻
The Rainbow Home is available at all the usual bookshops, so go find yourself a beautiful copy.
You’ll find my kitchen and my colourful Vertical Flowers kitchen textiles set in the Kitchens chapter. If you get a copy, tag me... I’d love to see!
Want a peek inside the book? I made a fun little reel with a mini tour and a glimpse of my colourful kitchen too. You can watch it over on Instagram!

When you're having one of those days where everything just feels a bit meh, there’s nothing like a pop of bright, bold colour (and music!) to quickly turn things around.
I’ve always been a big believer in the power of colour to boost your mood, and it’s amazing what a few vibrant touches can do for both your home and your mindset.
Here are a few reasons why colour is more than just a design choice. It's a lifestyle upgrade!
Feeling a bit down or uninspired? We all have those days, and being surrounded by bright colours can work wonders. Whether it’s a punchy cushion, a vibrant piece of art, an eye-catching rug, or even a bold tea towel, these splashes of colour give you a little pick-me-up and create a feeling of optimism and positivity. It’s like your space is giving you a big, colourful hug and saying, "Hey, everything’s going to be OK!"
We all want our homes to feel welcoming, right? When you add some vibrant colours, it’s like your space gets an instant personality upgrade. It feels more alive, more cheerful, and just plain happy! When you walk into a room that’s bursting with colour, it adds a playful and upbeat atmosphere, and it’s impossible not to feel a bit lighter. And trust me, people will notice too!
I always say, if you’re going to decorate a room, why not have some fun with it? Adding bold, bright colours to your space instantly makes it more exciting and energising! Whether you’re working from home and need to spark your creativity and productivity, or just want to make your living room a bit more joyful, colour is your best friend. A room that pops with personality is always a room you want to be in.
Your home is an extension of who YOU are, and it should reflect your uniqueness. There’s no better way to express your personal style than through your home decor. Whether you love bold geometric designs or playful florals, a splash of colour is an easy way to show off your style. Your colour choices make your home feel you, and that’s what makes it a one-of-a-kind haven.
Surrounding yourself with vibrant colours isn’t just about making your home look pretty. It’s about how it makes you feel. It’s about creating a space that improves your quality of life. Whether it’s boosting your mood, sparking your creativity, or making your space more welcoming, colour has this incredible ability to transform not just your home, but your wellbeing.
So, when it comes to creating a home that radiates happiness, there’s nothing quite like the power of bright and bold colours. Whether you're sprucing up your living room, bedroom, or kitchen, vibrant colours can completely transform your space, lifting your mood and filling your home with positive energy!
Stay colourful :-)
