Alex O’connor

ABOUT ME I’m 25 and I live in a two-bedroom flat in Essex with my boyfriend William, 28. what’s your FAVOURITE ROOM? I’m lucky that William lets me have free rein over the decor, so I’ve turned our spare bedroom into a spacious, girlie dressing room – it’s so handy for getting dolled up for a night out!

Jessica Charge

ABOUT ME I’m 40 and I live in a Thirties semi-detached house in Southampton with my husband Matt, 46, and son Isaac, two. what’s your BEST Moneysaving Tip? It’s worth spending money on an accessory if you really love it and it’s a key part of a room, but don’t invest in trends you can buy cheaply on the high street.

Robyn Swain

ABOUT ME I’m 27 and I live with my husband Sam, 31, and daughters Mischa, seven, and Izzy, five, in a Seventies mid-terrace in Lancashire. what’s your next project? I plan to give our dining area a makeover, including putting up new skirting and door frames, and fitting a half wall of board and batten, plus building a unit for my baking stuff.

Andrea Smedley

ABOUT ME I’m 45, I live in a four-bedroom detached period house in Scarborough and blog at thecreativecoastalhome.com where do YOU GET decorating ideas? I read homes magazines and follow a number of blogs. I’m a keen crafter and upcycler, so I also watch TV shows like Fill Your House For Free and Money For Nothing.

Kate Duckmanton

ABOUT ME I’m 41, and live with my husband Peter, 45, and our children Mabel, eight, and Rufus, six, in a modern detached in Buckingham. what would YOU have done differently? Looking back, I wish I had been more adventurous with using patterns in my home, instead of thinking that ‘clean lines’ meant plain colours.

Glenn Riddle

ABOUT ME I’m 46 and I live in a four-bedroom townhouse in County Durham with my wife Lindsay, 42, and son Sam, 16. what’s your MOST recent project? I’ve just completed a Churchill-inspired, gentleman’s club-style room, with Forties memorabilia, drinks cabinet, and old pipes displayed on the walls.
