Decorating with florals can be tricky, there's a fine line between achieving a charming country look or channelling a meadow (Hyacinth Bucket springs to mind).

POLL: Ivy on the home - love or loathe?
Comments (32)I hate it. I quite like the smell and the look is quite nice (especially if over an ugly building). However the cons, and there are many, far out-weigh the pros. High maintenance, potential structural damage, insects (though I don't mind them too much) and worse - you may as well be building a network of ladders for mice and rats to get around. Ugh. On the structural damage - with old houses, it is essential that the pointing is regularly checked and it has to be redone from time to time. Even if the ivy doesn't cause damage by getting in through cracks, it still traps moisture and holds it in your porous brick walls for longer causing potential damage to brickwork and timbers behind it such as lintels and joists. Even at the very least it obscures the view of your walls so you can't check your pointing regularly and monitor any cracks (which you mightn't notice until too late anyway if ivy-covered). Ivy is just bad news for a building even if it does look nice. Edited to add one more thing, that I forgot - ivy spreads rapidly and aggressively (birds sprinkle the berries around) and smothers trees and other plants so it's not all that environmentally friendly after all....See MorePOLL: Fake flowers - yay or nay?
Comments (44)im on the fence with this one as i like both, if the faux are good faux, but i get loads of free real flowers in the spring and summer as i end up with loads from the garden which would end up expensive if had to buy them every month, but i enjoy my faux when i can not get nice free fresh ones, so i would go for both...See MorePOLL: Interior windows - hit or miss?
Comments (38)Hmmm, not necessarily my cup of tea but has its merits in places so long as it doesn't make the room feel like a fish bowl. One thing I don't like though is if it allows you to see mess in another part of the house (my main bugbear about open plan...I don't wish to sit in my living room with the oven on and pots in the sink of an evening). They do give me terrible memories of internal glass doors in the 80s and stories of children going headfirst through them though....See MorePOLL: What's your favourite interior style?
Comments (19)I like too many things so I suppose mine is eclectic. My absolute delight is the Art Deco Moderne style; beautiful veneers, chrome, mirrors, fabrics and shapes, unfortunately I'm far to untidy and clumsy to live with it....See More
