Fabulous feature walls

Particularly in the bedroom, feature walls are a great way to visually improve your room - they make it go from wow to WOW! They allow you to show off something out of the ordinary without your room looking too busy! Subtle colours including beige, nude or pastels bring a great summer touch, or, if you fancy something more adventurous, why not go for a pattern - flowers are always a popular choice. 

Today, many people opt for a feature wall using a different material such as wood or bricks giving your home that modern, chic feel. 

Add splashes of bright colours

Too many bright colours can be overpowering so it's important to restrict your bright coloured furniture and the amount of bright colours you display! We recommend using smaller decorative furnishings like pillows, curtains or rugs rather than having a large bright orange three-seater sofa - this could boarder on 'over the top'. 

We also love a colourful canvas.

Consider your cushions!

Limiting your cushions to one matching colour is quite plain and simply boring! You should use two to three pairs of cushions which display contrasting patterns or colours, plus - the more cushions, the comfier! 

Ornament overload!

From word ornaments to sculptures to ceramics - we love ornaments! Nowadays, word ornaments are in most homes! From your typical 'love' or 'home' to your individual letters spelling out your children's names - either way, there GREAT! Word ornaments are a great way of giving your home that personal touch which we highly recommend! 

Random ornaments from birds to Buddha's are also a great way to fill those empty spaces and immediately make your room visually more exciting.

Chuck in a chair

Extra seating area is the new thing and is a great way to cover empty floor space! Your seating area will be even better when it's filled out with a foot-rest or a coffee table.

Flourishing flowers

Flowers are a great way to brighten up any room and it's also been proven that they help your room smell more fresh. Placing flowers in a nice vase on a bedside table, shelf or coffee table is a simple, easy way to add a splash of colour and a homey feel to any room. 

Lots of light

If you want your home to feel like home than lots of light is a must in our books! No light can make

your rooms feel dingy and cold so we suggest if you're windows don't bring in much light - load up your lamps! Lamps are a great decorative tool for side tables in your lounge area and bedrooms in particular; you can also match your lamp shade to your colour scheme or use it as a way to add a splash of colour. If you have no room for lamps, you can always use ceiling lamp shades instead. 

Another furnishing great to project light are candles which more importantly, look great!

Fold your throws

Throws are a great extra for all bedrooms and lounges providing warmth and comfort when you need it - and if you don't want it on show it's easy to fold up and store away. 

However we think your folded throw is a great furnishing - especially if it's a contrasting colour or has a nice pattern! 

Bigger bed the better

Small furniture can make your room look empty giving it a colder feel. Buying a bigger bed will fill out your room more and let's face it - there much more comfortable!
