Now I mentioned this the morning but if you super size something in a room, say a painting, a lamp, a mirror it will automatically change the feel of the space and elevate it to a level you can hardly believe. It’s a game changer I promise you.

Pattern is key, pattern is like a herb every room needs pattern in small doses in big doses it doesn’t matter how much you add just add. Cushions, wallpaper, rugs, the odd vase whatever it takes.
