This hallway takes British patriotism to a whole new level – but personally, the cracked glass walls and shrine like set up are less Rule Britannia and more creepy for me. I like the eclectic idea though, and tucking extra seating under the console table is a great way to make extra use of the space.

Classic, dark wood furniture doesn’t have to be dramatic and dated. Make sure you keep the walls in a fresh pale shade, and pretty up the look with light shimmering metallic linens and accessories for a boudoir look to die for.

With the clocks set to go forward this week, i’m really getting in the mood for Summer, and I think a day bed, like this one, is just the ticket for warm, lazy afternoons. Team with shabby chic cushions and a colourful bunting for a country-style feel.

I can only count five yellow pieces in this dark grey kitchen, but it just goes to show how all you need is a bright accent here, and a bright accent there, and you’ve given your room an instant – not to mention cost-friendly – facelift.

Sometimes less is more when it comes to wallpaper. If you don’t want to cover your whole wall in a pattern, why not team it with smart painted panelling. This hallway has oodles of sophisticated style.

Wow! This living room is not for the faint hearted, but it goes to show how colourful soft furnishings, like the curtains and cushions, can bring life to a dark scheme. I think i’d steer clear of watching TV next to Queen Elizabeth I though.

I love this modern take on Cape Cod style. The white four poster bed, mix-and-match bed linen and nautical stripe rugs create a laid-back beach vibe that makes me long for Summer.
