The boundary between work life and home life is more blurred than ever, meaning we’re needing our homes to be as multi-functional as possible.

Paint techniques and clever layouts can help create a space that inspires both work and play.
Trends for 2017- back to basics
5. Back to basics
Your home should be a sanctuary, somewhere you can escape to that feels calm and relaxing. In 2017 there will be a renewed focus on pale and neutral palettes, lovely tactile fabrics, and natural materials to create the feeling of getting away busy, tech-dominated lives. This versatile, neutral palette allows the textures and beautiful materials to take centre stage and stimulate the senses.
