We’ve also compiled a brand new round up, stocked with painting and decorating inspiration which will get you in the mood for your next project…

This month; find out how the power of interior design can improve student performance at school, get some tips on sprucing up your restaurant and transform your home office into a haven.

From flexible designs which allow for more versatile study, to enhanced motivation thanks to an improved working environment, the benefits of an upgrade are manifold and well worth learning about.
