Creating a focal point is a fantastic way to draw buyers’ eyes into a space and make your home memorable. Buyers prefer living rooms that aren’t dominated by a huge TV, so instead use furnishings and décor to do the job. A focal point can be a fireplace, or if you don't have one try a statement sofa, a well-placed mirror or wall art. Walk into your living room and note the first thing you notice. What draws the eye? If it's something unattractive, remove it. Art prints available from Desenio.

Achieve a 'Pinterest-pretty' home office even on a low budget. Pick a corner and give it a smart paint effect with low-cost paint. Mount a simple floating shelf, slot in a basic table and folding chair. Then bring in a little character with a wall-mounted lamp, plants and framed pictures. Look around the house for existing accessories; a plain white mug is ideal for storing pens and pencils. Space savvy tip: why not mount two hooks on the wall to store the fold up chair on when not in use?

Make the most of a plain entryway with stand-out colour tones. This long and narrow hallway scheme starts with a neutral backdrop and is then layered with bright and pretty textiles and tones that create a fun and happy welcome. Personality bursts out of the bright Parisan print Roman blind and looks divine set against the sunny yellow dresser that looks as though it was custom made for the space.
