With extensive experience in transforming hundreds of houses into stylish and comfortable homes, they share the Classic Constructions top five tips for interior design:

1. Remember that whatever the ‘hottest look’ is now, it will date very quickly. So try and avoid current trends and the “cookie cutter” looks replicated throughout furniture showrooms. They lack character, personality and originality and can date so quickly.
2. If you’re on a budget, spend more on your bathroom and kitchen—they cost the most and so the more you spend now, the less quickly you’ll need to update them in the future.
3. Keep your base neutral—off whites or light shades are a great way to create a tone so you have more options to create interest with your finishes and furnishings. You’re also less likely to grow tired with it.
4. Keep a consistent theme throughout the home. This creates a comfortable ambience. Conflicting tones can feel busy.
5. Don’t be afraid of colour—especially in your soft furnishings, curtains, art and additions. It can give your home a unique personality.
