Provincial Farm Touch, Victoria

Instagram account @provincialfarmtouch follows the DIY journey of Alicia, who has skilfully built and decorated her family’s farmhouse style home, located in country Victoria, over the past three years with her husband, Ian.

Falling in love with the Porter’s Paints Capsule Collection, the gorgeous home wonderfully showcases colours from the collection.

*Wall Colour: French Green | The perfect neutral grey green, with raw umber and ochre undertones*

The colours in The Capsule Collection were cleverly designed to stand alone or to team elegantly together. Alicia and her family's home is a beautiful example of how the colours in the collection can harmoniously work together throughout a home, taking the guesswork out of creating a successful scheme.

"Our home feels connected, calm and warm," says Alicia.

*Colour: Timberline | A soothing olive green, creates a serene and comfortable atmosphere.*

"I was drawn to the Porter's Capsule Collection because of the colour range; however, I now also love the Eggshell Finish. I feel the Eggshell Finish gives the VJ panel walls a nice matt texture, which creates the Australian farmhouse feel," explains Alicia.

*VJ panelling and ceiling colour: Volcanic Ash | A versatile neutral that is the ideal background colour.*

Throughout the house, Alicia has continued the colour on the walls onto the ceiling, colour drenching to create a connected, cosy feeling.

"I decided recently that I would shift away from blues and introduce some more green tones to create a calm environment inside our home," says Alicia.

This neutral olive green creates a peaceful atmosphere and works in any space.

“I have used a lot of different paint brands over the years, and I find Porter's Paints the highest quality. The Eggshell Finish goes on easily, it’s thick, the texture is lovely, and it dries evenly. I have painted over 20 rooms of our current owner-built home – Porter’s made that task easy.”

*Colour: Petal Pink | A delicate, natural pink with hints of umber and ochre.*

"I love farmhouse style and the colours used internationally to achieve this look. I find Porter's Paints colours achieve this in Australia. Porter's colour range is unique compared to other brands," observes Alicia.

*Colour: Newport Blue | A calming soft grey, with hints of blue and green.*
