WHAT ARE YOUR<br />
FAVOURITE DÉCOR<br />
TRENDS THIS YEAR?<br />
Curved sofas; mix-and-match styles;<br />
floral fabrics and wallpaper plus boldpainted<br />
walls; passementarie; velvet and<br />
light wood floors.<br />
YOUR TREASURED PLACES TO<br />
LOOK FOR INTERIOR IDEAS?<br />
Inspiration comes from everywhere:<br />
trendy restaurants, boutique hotels, art<br />
galleries, Instagram and even the store<br />
next door.<br />
ONE TIP FOR TRANSFORMING<br />
SMALL ROOMS?<br />
Lots of white, light and airiness but<br />
always with a pop of colour; acrylic<br />
furniture will make your space appear<br />
less busy; and a big floor mirror will<br />
fool your eye into thinking the space<br />
is bigger.<br />
WHAT’S YOUR ADVICE FOR<br />
QUICK AND EASY UPDATES ON<br />
YOUR HOME?<br />
Refresh your home with a lick of paint<br />
– it can soften, bring drama and give<br />
style to a space; declutter to create a<br />
sense of calm; and choose home décor<br />
items carefully to make an impact –<br />
think coffee table books, mementoes<br />
picked up on travels, candles, vases<br />
and wall art.<br />
WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND<br />
BLOWING THE BUDGET ON?<br />
A soft carpet and a comfy sofa.<br />
YOUR TOP INTERIOR TIP?<br />
Create a personalised look by mixing up<br />
your styles: old and new, precious and<br />
cheap pieces, patterns and textures.<br />

paint as a visual<br />
