🍀 Another Stroke of Luck! 🍀

A huge congratulations to Eric in Cork, who was the lucky winner of our recent Stroke of Luck competition! 🎉

Eric picked up a fantastic €500 Circle K voucher - and judging by the smile, he was pretty chuffed with his prize! 😄

Pictured at our Centre Park Road store with James, our Store Trade Sales Manager, and David from Dulux.

The competition was run in partnership with Dulux Trade. A big thank you to everyone who took part, and well done again, Eric! 👏🍀

🏡 A historic home with a bold new look

Perched on the seafront in Cobh, Harbour House is an 1850s coastal cottage with plenty of history and plenty of character.

When Padraig and Eugene decided it was time to repaint the lime-rendered exterior, they wanted a colour that would complement Cobh's colourful streetscape, stand out from the harbour and still look beautiful as it naturally faded over time.

After plenty of colour testing and expert advice from our team at Bachelors Quay, they settled on Colourtrend Brickstock - a rich, deep terracotta with crimson and burnt-orange undertones.

The result? A rich, colourful exterior that brings out the Victorian character of this beautiful home. ❤️

Bathroom colour inspiration from our customers 💛🛁

Bathrooms don't have to be all white! These customer projects show just how much personality you can add with a carefully chosen colour scheme.

💛 Lynn () used Farrow & Ball *India Yellow* on her panelling, skirting and door, paired with *Matchstick* on the walls—a lovely way to introduce a warm, sunny shade without going overboard.

🌕 Ralston Moonstone & Seahorse create a calm, sophisticated scheme, with Moonstone on the beading and woodwork and Seahorse on the walls and ceiling. The perfect match for the white marble tiling.

🍃 Molly brought colour into her new-build bathroom with a two-tone scheme of Ralston *Smoulder* on the ceiling and *Low Tide* on the walls.

👉 Top tip: Don't forget about your ceiling when choosing bathroom colours. A coloured ceiling can add another layer of interest and make a two-tone scheme feel much more considered.

A brilliant exterior transformation by Cork-based painter and decorator Adrian Fehily 👏🏡

This home has been given a serious refresh using Dulux Weathershield, with a beautiful mix of warm neutrals and rich, earthy tones.

🌿 Walls & plinths: Wicklow Way – a popular deep green that adds plenty of character
🤎 Window sills: Brittas Sand – a warm, understated neutral
🤍 Window & door reveals: New Wool – another warm neutral that keeps the overall look soft and balanced
🖤 Fascias & soffits: Weathershield Satin Black for a crisp, contemporary finish

👉 Top tip: Using different shades across your exterior details is a great way to highlight architectural features and give your home more depth, while keeping the overall colour scheme cohesive.
