Donna’s new room

When Donna first moved into her new home in Gwent in 2021, her room wasn’t decorated. In a conversation with staff, she told them that she wanted a change, and wanted to make the room feel like her own.

Donna got fully involved in decorating her room

Donna wanted to learn new skills, and was keen to get fully involved in the decorating process.

Together, Donna and Mirus staff went to look at some paint and wallpaper samples to find the perfect colour to make her room her own. She decided on a fantastic sage green paint colour for the accent walls, and a sage green and white flowered wallpaper for the feature wall.

Soon after, Donna and her support worker started stripping the old wallpaper. Donna did a lot of it herself, and her support worker did the parts she couldn’t reach. Donna loved getting involved, and she learned lots of new DIY skills.

She also got involved with painting her bedroom furniture – she painted her cupboards from white to light grey.

Donna is happy with her room now that it is reflective of her own personal style, and she’s very proud of being involved in the project from beginning to end.
