If you keep thinking something isn't quite right, put it away or change it.

27. Maximise your daylight circulation

With mirrors on as many walls as possible.

28. Remember the rule of three

Only add decorative items, such as cushions, in multiples of three.

29. Change your coffee table accessories regularly

To keep the space new and interesting.

30. Embrace many different styles of crockery

For a less 'straight out of the box' look. Or grab something custom!

31. Colour coordinate your table linens

This gives a really polished feel to your place settings.

32. Choose neutral upholstery

That you can add to later should you so wish to.

33. Don't forget about your ceilings!

They're fast becoming the new feature walls with paint and wallpaper going up there.

34. Don't follow trends

Trust your instincts about what will work best for your home.

35. Add layers everywhere

Throws, cushions and blankets will all add wonderful texture to your home.

36. Add dimmer switches to all your rooms

To control the mood perfectly.

37. Add gratuitous greenery to your home

Indoor plants will give your home a fresher, more connected feel.

38. Hang curtains as high as you can

To make windows feel larger and rooms more open.

39. While keeping those curtains high

Make sure they're simple to retain the elegance.

40. Remember that newer isn't always better

For example, vintage rugs are great.

41. Opt for a big rug

The more sizeable your rug, the bigger your room will feel.

Prints and art are a good way to start.
