How to make it personal

As we believe in the beauty of all things unique, you must never be afraid to do something daring.

When looking at how your home can tell your story, always remember to let your personality shine through. Furthermore, when designing a room, it is important to choose pieces that excite you, rather than following a trend. If it makes you happy, then go for it!

Additionally, styling with trinkets, collectables and keepsakes is a brilliant way to make your décor more personal to you. Pick out pieces in your home that spark a marvellous memory and use them in a versatile way.

Lastly, to encapsulate that eclectic charm, incorporate mementoes and beloved objects into your home to really make your scheme stand out from the rest. You will not regret it. If you struggle to find a colour palette for your overall scheme - look to your wardrobe first to see what you are most comfortable with and then select a range of complimentary tones and patterns.

If you don’t wear florals, for example, then you are unlikely to love using lots of floral designs in your home, and vice versa."
