Sometimes we get the feeling that professional interior decorators don't want to tell you all their top tips for creating a stunning home design, but we've decided to anyway. After all, not everybody can afford to hire a team of decorators, but we all still want to have a wonderful home that we feel proud of.

From working with your space cleverly to choosing the right ready-to-buy textiles, we've got all the advice you need right here, so let's not waste any more time!

1. Pick a simple colour palette for everything in a room before you begin a revamp

2. Make investment pieces take centre stage in a room

3. Give the illusion of more height by opting for low furniture

4. Add a splash of colour around windows to take advantage of the sunlight!

5. Use mirrors to add warmth and perceived space

6. Don't put off buying a statement sofa and make sure you buy one that will last forever

7. If you can't face adding more colour to a room, add texture instead. Exposed brick works well

8. Make sure any readymade curtains reach all the way to the floor, to make them appear more expensive

9. Always keep ceilings pale to make rooms feel taller. You can even opt for the same colour as the walls, just a shade or two lighter

10. Don't have perfectly matching crockery, as this is a nightmare if something breaks

11. Gold and silver DO look good together, so ignore the naysayers!

12. The only way to approach bold colours is with confidence, so dive in and give them a go

13. A jute rug is a classic staple for any room and will tie it all together

14. For a quick and easy way to add some luxe to a room, increase the number of cushions in place

15. A fully glass shower surround will make your bathroom feel much larger

16. Make a real feature of your kitchen splashback and opt for the largest possible. This will give a very continental feel

17. Don't stick to matching dining chairs as they can drown out the rest of the space. Shake things up with different styles

18. Let the sizes of your rooms dictate where you put your furniture and never block out all the light
