The quality of the paint is unrivalled, often using up to 40% more pigment than their rivals, which means it covers better than most. As a Platinum stockist, we at John Charles Interiors mix all their paints in our Edgbaston showroom. The decorators absolutely love it, as it is a joy to use and goes on so beautifully – unlike some other premium brands.

But if you feel like taking things a little further why not consider a wallpaper? Wallcovering manufacturers have definitely caught on that not everyone wants a feature wall, and that not every room can take a large pattern. There are a whole host of fabulous textures on offer, as well as some delightfully subtle small prints. Mind you, if you do like to make a statement there are some truly mouth-watering papers to choose from. Bold florals and scenic designs are very much in evidence, along with a continuing trend towards more daring use of colour.
There are of course many other ways to refresh your home without spending a fortune. The humble cushion is often overlooked, but can become a little hero when it comes to adding pizzazz. You may have found a fabulous fabric that you’d love to have as curtains but can’t stretch to right now. It only needs a couple of metres to make four scatter cushions to throw on the sofa or bed. Alternatively, you can liven up your living room by adding scatter cushions in a vibrant plain velvet, or a gorgeous textured fabric, and teaming them up with co-ordinating accessories such as lamps or vases. Generally speaking, the smaller the item, the more intense the colour can be without upsetting the balance of a room.
New bed linen can often do the trick in a bedroom, as can a change of bedside lamps or even just lampshades.
A tired carpet or a bare wood floor will almost certainly be enhanced by a rug or possibly two. Choose from a myriad of tightly woven textures, flatweaves and patterns, or deep, sumptuous, shaggy rugs you could easily loose a small child in.
Or why not refresh your bathroom and give it a whole new feel with something as simple as a change of colour in the towels?
