INSTANT UPDATES FOR YOUR... DINING ROOM

When planning a design revamp, begin with the bones of the room – the paint palette you choose will set the tone of the space. Give your walls, woodwork, furniture and even ceilings a spring update with a natural pairing of forest greens and subdued sunshine yellow. If your walls feel bare, add interest with simple panelling, decorative tiles or artwork. Curate displays of your favourite ceramics and accessories to decorate shelves, tabletops and sideboards.
