Decorating your dream

This is the last big job before the furniture comes out of store or from the shop and you can declare the house is now home. Enjoy every minute you spend choosing and creating. Great innovations and tried and tested favourites await.

1.

If mummy and daddy were Farrow and Ball, chances are you will be Coat. Paint without the DIY store, they say, promising ‘effortless bragging rights’. Good website, very Instagram friendly and a superb innovation with their peel and stick test swatches. Never splodge around with a tester pot again. www.coatpaints.com 2. We do still love our white rooms, full of tones and textures. www.cultfurniture.com

3. Go veri peri in the bedroom with this Alice Periwinkle Wallpaper. www.olenkadesign.co.uk

We love our tartan wallpaper, but give it a new twist. Mindthegap collections are never knowingly understated and have some of the best takes on the theme. www.mindtheg.com

Wallpaper is making a come back, make no mistake. This ‘Branch Van Gogh Almond Blossom’ is a gentle reintroduction after all those years of mood board curated painted walls. www.bobbibeck.com

With a nod to Bridgeton and other period dramas this Elizabeth Ockford-designed wallpaper can be personalised with your family name, the date you built the house, initials, you name it, or left blank. www.frenchbedroomcompany.co.uk 7 & 8. Colours to reflect the Scottish landscape. Picture: Skye Kelp and Spar Cave. www.isleofskyepaintcompany.co.uk

With the return of wallpaper comes the picture wall, and the mural remained for a new generation. Make yours a statement by a Scottish artist from a Highland manufacturer. www.isleofskyepaintcompany.co.uk
