What to do about bad lighting? How do I overcome decision paralysis? Is it OK to rip out original features? Can I use strong colour in small rooms? How to hide the TV – and more. Read on for answers.
I would love a piece on the last point about patterns, with lots of pictures of the good, the bad and the just plain wrong, deconstructed by you. I always work better in pictures with these ideas. I’ll see an example and suddenly, there’s a cognitive “click” between the theory and the practice. I’d also love a “I started in the wrong place (paint) - again- and I have no idea how to tackle choosing curtain fabric…”. So many choices and I freeze with overwhelm! Oh yes, that was item one on your list…
Hmm. I hear you. The difficulty is finding examples of things put together badly as you don’t tend to find images. I’ll need to gather lots of samples. Maybe one for a live clinic.

Yes I am in the midst of decision paralysis! New home, new country, new furnishings. Thank you for the reminder - just pick one already!
We’re stuck on buying a new sofa - where would you recommend for best quality???
Concise and great advice as usual!
Love it x
