How to Spruce Up Plain Interiors
Home Upgrade Guide
If you feel like sprucing up your interiors consier the most important soft furnishings – your rugs, carpets, curtains, bed sheets or cushions.

Bringing Life to an Interior
Of course the best way to do this is have a good basic design, ideally by an architect if new-build. But the next thing is to make it real, a lived-in warm-hearted space will work better than some cold staged interior. Use a generous amount of plants and flowers, and add warmth via simple decoration whether it be paintings on the wall or carefully selected objects, from sculptures to momentoes.
