Hang-ups
Most hallways become a
dumping ground for coats and
shoes, slung over the banister
as you enter the house. Make
sure the hallway always looks
inviting to guests by having a
designated space for jackets.
Invest in a proper set of hooks
or a wardrobe-style storage
system like these.

Convert a boring space into a riot of colour and
pattern with the help of wallpaper. Lift gloomy
areas, like under the stairs, with a stylish print
in pretty pastels. Or try florals, geometrics,
stripes or spots – whatever takes your fancy...
