Colour Me Bad: Choosing a Colour Palette
Design always starts off seeming pretty easy. After all, you know what you like; you might not be able to charge strangers a lot of money for your design ideas, but you can certainly put together a room for yourself! Except, most of us discover after our initial attempts to design our own spaces that we’re not nearly as good at it as we thought we would be. And the number one thing newcomers to the design world struggle with? The colour palette.
How to Not be Boring: Kid’s Room Design

Using the Power of the Photo Canvas for Your University Accommodation
Every year, families around the world are faced with the same problem: They have a child headed off to university, and they must find a way to make their uni accommodation comfortable without breaking the bank.

We all claim one room in the house above all others. For some of us these rooms are recreational in nature - the family room with the big television, or the theatre room or workout room. For others, ‘our’ room is a more creative space - the home office, or the kitchen. This is where we get excited because we can spend our time creating something.
