  • Neutral coloured storage boxes are a great idea to hide away those occasional items.
  • Using vertically striped wallpaper can help add a feeling of height to any room.
  • Avoid over fussy curtains in a bedroom as they can block out light.
  • Always measure the space you want a piece of furniture to take up, this makes sure you get the perspectives right.
