HIT THE SPOTS

Small spaces provide the

opportunity to have a little

decorating fun. “They

demand attention but often

get left out,” says Fiona. In the

powder room above, she

used a spotted wallpaper

from Bristol Paint &

Decorator Centre and

decorative mirrors to inject

graphic interest. The effect is

reprised in the form of a

raindrops decal from Etsy

(above right), a charming and

whimsical addition to

a child’s bedroom.

SPACE-CRAFTY

Many space-saving tricks have

been used in the design of this

bathroom (right), which

incorporates a laundry

cunningly hidden behind

closed doors. “You wouldn’t

even know it’s there,” says

Fiona. The wall-mounted

towel rack above the bath

saves space, and a long but

not-too-deep vanity unit with

drawers provides storage

without taking up too much

space. Crisp white subway

tiles stacked vertically draw

the eye to the far wall,

while the timber-look tiles

add texture to the floor.
