Struggling to get curtains that work for your room? Why not try designing your own.

We have found this quirky make from abeautifulmess.com that transforms plain white curtains into something more fun. They have gone for monochrome spots but the options are endless.

With a few tools and some paint, and a bit of confidence you can create some individual curtains to fit with your own design. We think they would be perfect for a kids room.

home: trend [ colour clash ]

With any trend you can take elements of what you like and create the looks in individual rooms. This week’s trend focuses on vibrant colour and pattern. Take inspiration at whatever level and transform a room into an array of bold tones and print.

This trend is all about being a maxamilist and being brave on your choices. Mix florals with stripes, bright pink with green, leopard print and yellow.

If you don’t want to go for this look in the whole room then why not try throwing lots of colour on a picture wall or maybe find a corner you can experiment in with ab armchair and soft furnishings.

Embrace the colour this year!

These wooden frame mounts from hm.com are a great way of hanging your favourite print or poster as an alternative to a standard frame.

The two strips at top and bottom have magnets on, which clamp the picture in place. Available in 3 colours we love the simplicity of this style, which you could hang singularly on a wall or in a group.
