It’s also quite a fun job too, picking colours and getting samples, or today you can actually upload photos of your room to websites and virtually apply colour to your walls, giving you the chance to see how a shade will look, before you even head to the shop. People often forget about the outside of their house too, but a lick of paint on the outside of your home will make a huge difference also.

Organisation is Key

Throws and rugs can also do the same, and your room and the best thing about new accessories is that they don’t have to be expensive.
