Home decorating can be confusing - especially when it comes to colour. Designer Amanda Forrest breaks down the tips on how to make it work.
These are the most popular paint colours for each living space:
When building a room scheme choose one dominant piece, (wall colour, art, furniture or rug) and allow that to "shine".

Finally, mix metals to add a hit of glamour and richness.
