This north west London home is so light, airy and refreshing.  I love the  gentle pastel colour palette, which continues throughout the house.  So much inspiration!  It just goes to show how a few carefully-placed home accessories can turn a house into a home…

White flooring and walls give the illusion of space due to the continuation of colour

The dining area has a very organic feel to it.  The miss-match of chairs finish the room off beautifully

This collage of prints on the wall helps to bring the room together and gives it a modern touch

Even small touches can make a place feel more homely.  D.I.Y doesn’t always have to be costly!

It’s the first thing you’re presented with when entering a home and you want it to look inviting, striking and  personal.  Decorating your hallway needs lots of time and thought.  Choose home accessories which reflect your personality.  Add a pretty throw, a stunning vase  or a useful console table.  Use clever storage to create a unique look.

Keep the walls white for maximum impact.  Hexagonal storage shelving from Bloq.

The orange strip along the door edging compliments the print hanging in the hallway perfectly.

You don’t need a lot of space to make a statement!

I love these stairs but the design doesn’t seem to fit with the surroundings in this instance.  Perhaps the home is still work in progress.  Wallpaper by Orla Kiely

What do you think of this contemporary multicoloured staircase?  I like it to look at but not sure if I could actually live with it every day.  You’d definitely need to stick to a white background for this to work.

Don’t be afraid to use colour in the home.  It can seem quite daunting, especially the use of bold pattern or bright shades.  Try using a colour wheel to get to know which colours compliment which and get experimenting!

Blues and yellows scream summer!

Subtle colours can be just as striking

The general rule of pattern is mix and match as much as you like, but use no more than differing tones of three different colours.

Neutrals, golds and antique pieces work well with deep purples

Decorating your home need not be expensive- all that is required is a paintbrush and a little imagination!  Paying through the nose may be a quick fix but imagine the pleasure you’d get from doing it yourself.  I know we all live very busy lives but these quick ideas wouldn’t take long- you’ll be a property developer before you know it!

try painting the inner frame of an entrance a contrasting colour

 vintage trunks make great coffee tables!  Don’t want to throw away your (expensive) old Louis Vuitton luggage? Use it as a bedside table!
