I don’t know about you, but for me, January always feels quite bleak with the cold and wet weather and, of course, the dark evenings. If I’m out and about for the day, I can’t wait to get home to hibernate and be all cosy!

We’ve shared with you our interior expert tips to nail your living room alcoves and make them work in your living room.

Interior design is an exciting and creative process that can transform a room into a beautiful and functional space. However, it is essential to avoid common mistakes that can derail your interior design project.

When it comes to small living rooms, it can be challenging to know how best to arrange the furniture and find a place for everything. Getting the layout right in any living room can be tricky, but it is especially important when it’s a small living room. At The Living House we always begin by exploring different layout options when we are designing rooms for our customers, to see what the possibilities are and what will work best for the space.

I think with the excess of Christmas still fresh in my mind, the need for the feeling of space in my home is high on my agenda. Christmas seems to fill every available corner with clutter (sorry, decorations!) and the addition of a huge tree in the living room means a rejig of all the furniture until I feel I’m falling over stuff, or children, or cats all of the time!

Despite what instagram shows us, nearly every home has a small room of some sorts; an office, a box room, or a cozy snug and they aren't easy to design!

You’ve moved into your new home. It’s taken almost all your savings and now you need to furnish it and transform it into your home on a tight budget. You feel with no money to spare, getting help from an interior designer would take a large chunk of your cash and be a luxury you can’t afford. You’d have to go without essential items or risk compromising on the look you want. And why spend extra money on a designer when you can do it yourself? Right??

Luxury - it’s a look that never goes out of style, and manages to feel both relaxed and refined. It’s a look many of us would love in our homes, but sadly we don’t always have the luxury budget to go with it!

Although I’m not in my forever home, I still want to update areas of my house, but on a small budget. This blog will explore the creative ways I have updated my bathroom for under £100 and hopefully inspire you to look at ways to improve your home without spending a fortune.
