Transform a bookcaseIf you’re tempted by wallpaper but don’t want to cover a wall, consider papering the back of a shelving unit instead. You’ll get pattern, but in a more subtle way. This is a purse-friendly idea, too, as you only need a relatively small amount of paper to achieve it. You could even use offcuts or samples. Try these cool Ikea furniture hacks

Colour-blocking“For 2018, I predict we’ll see an increasing number of homes sporting the colour-block look. Bright, graphic neons and bold hues will prevail, often teamed with more pared-back pastels and muted tones. As the trend gathers pace, we’ll see more confident colour-block combinations, separated by clean, graphic, 80s-inspired lines.”Emily Murray, The Pink HouseAre you ready for the Houzz of 2018?
