Ideal for a kids’ room, dining room or even a kitchen, this look is fun and bright – great for dark spaces. Wallpower by Nono (Image 3 of 15)

Ideal for light, bright rooms that you want to feel constantly fresh, green and blue are also calming shades – great in a busy space. Karlstad range by Ikea (Image 11 of 15)
Choose a striped carpet and match it to accessories set on neutral furnishings. That way, when you move, you can redesign a new scheme without having to buy new pieces. Beach Hut stripe carpet, Kersaint Cobb (Image 12 of 15)
You’ve got to brave to use purple, but set antique pieces in neutrals and golds against it and you can’t go wrong… Antique Oak flooring, Broadleaf (Image 13 of 15)
The rule of pattern: mix and match as much as you like, but use no more than differing tones of THREE different colours. Melocoton fabric, Camengo (Image 14 of 15)
Make colour a suprise. This room’s colour is minimal, but it hits you because it’s set against soothing, neutral tones. Panoramiques fabric, Camengo (Image 15 of 15)
