Marks (@No.17House) “In our master bedroom, we wanted to create an elegant backdrop with layered points of interest. “By painting our walls, ceiling, skirting, radiators and fireplace in the same grey hue, it allowed the room to flow ,and created a calming and enveloping feel to the space. “We then contrasted the bold lines of wall panelling with soft- er round details, like the light- ing and the mirror, to create in- terest. Adding concealed layers that aren’t always immediately obvious to the untrained eye, can amalgamate to create a mas- terpiece.”


HomeMilk) “This year has been a period of experimentation in our homes. Many of us want to make big changes on a budget, and I think the cheapest way to transform your space is with a paintbrush. “I believe that colour can have a transformational power and a huge impact on how you feel. The trick is to block out worries of what others might think, and mindfully choose colours that stir your passions and feed your soul. “If you’re hesitant, then start small – upcycle an old stool, paint a doorframe, then work your way up to bigger projects as you get into your groove. You’ll be admiring your yellow staircase in no time.
