This has opened things up to more opportunities for creativity. Decorators are taking matters into their own hands and creating clever and colourful solutions that are unique to their personal wants and needs, as well of those of their family, rather than being dominated by fast fashion and quick trend turnover.
Whether you're building new, moving or simply looking to redecorate your home to better suit your personality and lifestyle, we've rounded up the best of the best paint and decorating ideas in this habitat plus to help inspire your next project, from quick weekend refreshes to total home makeovers. Sorted by colour, mood and theme, it's easy to find something to suit every style and taste.
We encourage you to use this habitat plus to inspire imaginative ideas of your own. We'd love to see what you create – and perhaps your creativity might be just the inspiration someone else needs to get started on their decorating project.
Happy decorating!
