O’Rourke shares

her decorating secrets

BIGGEST SUCCESS

Building the outdoor room,

which is similar to a veranda

with an open fireplace. It’s

like having a large living

space that works well in

both summer and winter.

I don’t think I could live

anywhere without one now.

SECRET ADDRESS

Definitely flea markets

and house-clearance

sales. Some of my

favourite possessions

have been picked up

for next to nothing.

GREATEST INDULGENCE

Probably laying pure sisal

flooring in the bedrooms.

I just couldn’t live with the

synthetic carpet that was

there originally.

GO-TO COLOUR

In this particular house,

it is white – Dulux’s Antique

White USA – on the walls

and woodwork. (Timeless

by Dulux is similar). It’s a

warm shade and really

brightens up small rooms.

SMALL CHANGE,

BIG IMPACT

The black feature walls;

a great result for such

little outlay. And I love the

drama of a dark wall.
