Now that we have entered a brand new year it is time to review which trends we are leaving in 2019 and what styles we will be adopting in 2020. Since the festive season has now quietened and life is slowly but surely getting back into a routine it is the perfect time to assess the New Year in the world of home decor. What has been officially chosen as the colour of 2020? What simple decor changes shall we be making around the house?

Here we are...2020! The start of a new year is like a breath of fresh air as it marks the perfect excuse to create new goals for yourself, however big or small. Nevertheless, if goal-setting is not at the top of your list, how about a revamp? If you ever needed an excuse to redecorate the living room, or add a sparkle to your living room, now is a better time than any.

The day has come. Your wallpaper has just arrived in the post. You’re staring at your blank wall... you’ve now realised that you have no idea how to put your new wallpaper up. After getting carried away scrolling through pages and pages of beautiful, high quality wallpaper, it’s easy to forget the reality of applying it to your walls. Luckily, that’s what the internet is for! Unfortunately we cannot crawl through the screen and help you put your fabulous paper up but we can sure give you some tips and tricks as to how to get started.

In this first blog post we’ll start with the tools you should consider getting to make your wallpapering experience go a lot more smoothly.

Whether you're 'expecting' this winter or you're looking to redecorate your nursery or playroom, this week's blog aims to inspire you with some stylish seasonal looks. However, we all know that a wallpaper is a bit more permanent than the Christmas period, so we've made sure we've picked some wallpapers which will suit you and your little one all year round, whilst still keeping to theme.

As the weather gets colder and the days get darker winter is starting to feel like its creeping closer and closer. However, before that time we have *personally* the best season of all to enjoy; Autumn! Halloween, Bonfire Night, cosy nights in, what’s not to love? After the annual disappointment of having to double guess the English summer weather, autumn gives us the perfect opportunity to dress up warm and excuses us to wear our comfiest outfits outside of the comfort of our homes. Best of all, autumn gives we home lovers the excuse to redesign our living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens to match the themes of the season. Say hello to warmer colour tones, decorative fireplaces and homage’s to nature.

From Andy’s bedroom to The Shining’s symmetrical hallways and The Grand Budapest Hotel lobby, cinema has produced some of the most recognisable interior design ever.

But there’s more than meets the eye as each colour is carefully selected to add to the film’s mood or story.

We’ve looked at 6 different film genres to compare their colour palettes and see what colours add to the romance, horror, comedy and more of these famous films.
