Decorating ideas to revamp your living room

Red hot, hot, hot
Just as a red dress makes you stand out at a party, a red room always grabs the limelight. Go beyond the wall and be bold, saturating the space with this feisty colour. And once you’ve brought together the basic pieces, it’s time to add the final touches, for these are what invigorate rooms – think look-at-me artwork, intriguing collectables, seasonal flowers and even a pile of books. Consider scale, shape, texture and the relationship between each piece as you assemble your vignettes.
