Turn a corkboard into a mood board as you plan your decorating projects. Add inspirational images and clippings, as well as Resene paint swatches, fabric cuttings and even words that match the look you’re after. Use curvy, organic shaped accessories to add softness to a room. By painting accessories, you can create a very soothing tonal colour scheme rather than have to look all over town for just the right coloured vase. Another stylist’s trick is to group objects in odd not even numbers. Create a stunning and easy feature wall by cutting ply sheets into 300mm-wide ‘planks’, painting a basecoat of colour, then randomly brushing three to four other colours on top. Try out your colour combinations on a test plank first, using Resene testpots. Purple reigns: Peony Rose Cushion, $59.90, from Me and My Trend.
