1. Bright colours open up enclosed spaces - so try revamping a fading hallway or stairwell by painting it in a striking, confident colour such as bold red or cheerful yellow.

2. For a simple but chic touch, paint the whole room with a bold block colour, then add a large geometric shape in a bright contemporary colour, such as warm orange.

3. Make a feature of shelves by painting alcoves with a neutral tone such as white, alongside a colour, which gives contrast, such as sky blue.

4. To pack a stylish punch, experiment with some free-hand painting - it’s guaranteed to lend a new lease of life to a room.

5. Don’t be afraid to experiment with colour - if it’s confined to a small area it can always be seasonally repainted and won’t cost you the earth.
