Style advice

01 Creative compromises

If you’ve got your eye on a pricey wallpaper but can’t afford a top-to-toe feature wall, try panels, like Bili. ‘When I saw the Nocturnal Faunacation wallpaper from Divine Savages I fell in love with the drama of itfl’ she says. ‘We thought we’d get away with one roll of paper but while we were hanging it, we realised we were short by a very small piece, so we decided on wallpapered panels instead. We get a lot of compliments on the panelling, which was a happy accident, but the best thing is we saved £150 on a second rollfl’

02 Have a party piece

Bili loves to entertain her friends and family, so a drinks trolley was a must-have. ‘I’d been looking for a gold drinks trolley for a while and finally found this Art Deco style one in the sale at Homebase. My friends love it as much as me.’ To make it a focal point in the room, Bili has piled on the bling with tropical foliage, fairy lights and glitter bunting to create a statement piece, perfect for festive celebrations.

03 On theme

For a cohesive look, decorate your Christmas tree to tie in with the rest of your room’s décor. To complement her glam style, Bili has gone for a navy and gold colour palette with accessories from B&M’s Midnight Glamour collection. ‘I love how the colour scheme immediately makes an impact,’ says Bili,

‘so I wanted the Christmas decorations to be in keeping with that look. Matt has to reign me in sometimes, otherwise the whole house would be green and bluefl’
