Here Charlie shares his decorating tips about giving your home its personality.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have one main and very simple tip when it comes to decorating. And it\u2019s this\u2026don\u2019t worry about trends, be confident, do what you like and then your house will look wonderful. Make your home a reflection of your character and it\u2019ll sing; it\u2019ll look great and feel great, both to you and to others. Confidence is the key; the only thing that really<\/em> matters.<\/p>\n

I know lots of amazing homes and even more boring homes. And the simple thing that distinguishes the former from the latter is that wonderful houses echo their owners\u2019 character; their peculiar tastes, their humour, their warmth. I\u2019m not sure that there\u2019s such a thing as good taste, but I know that there\u2019s such a thing as confidence and belief in your taste.<\/p>\n

Take, for example, a girl in the street dressed in 1970s clothes. Her look is full on and she looks amazing. Why, because she\u2019s put the look together with confidence and verve. Individually, these pieces would look terrible to most of us (and terrible on us) but on her -with her belief, sparkle and peculiar eye- they look great. The same applies to homes. Your home shouldn\u2019t be copied from a book or a magazine (although inspiration is around every corner); it should be a confident reflection of your taste; and yours only.<\/p>\n

So, if you like the idea of a Chesterfield sofa next to an Eames chair, a Victorian oil painting above some framed 1950s posters, a row of Dinky Toys on a Georgian mantlepiece\u2026try it! If it doesn\u2019t work you\u2019ll know straight away and can try something else. That\u2019s the joy of believing in your own taste; you can work at it until it feels right to you. And if it feels right to you, it\u2019s working. Keep experimenting.<\/p>\n

Having said all of this, a few of the things that are exciting me at the moment and that we\u2019re trying at home are\u2026<\/p>\n

First, dark, dark walls; slate grey or even black. We\u2019ve just done our dining room in two deep tones of grey and it\u2019s my favourite room ever. The joy of paint is that you can so easily change it if it doesn\u2019t work out. A quick weekend\u2019s work and the colour that didn\u2019t work has gone. Bingo!<\/p>\n

Second, dark walls look great with gilded frames. Oil paintings have been out of fashion for years (I\u2019m not talking Old Masters here) and can be picked up for a song. They feel right to me at the moment; their depth and warmth and patina can\u2019t be imitated and in their soft gold frames they look great against stark, dark walls. But consider lighting them properly so they jump out at you; those over-picture lamps that our grandparents loved look pretty good if they\u2019re painted to match the frames.<\/p>\n

Third, dark wood floors with kilims or rugs work well with these dark walls and oils. A good floor is an investment and one worth spending on. But good rugs and kilims don\u2019t need to cost a fortune. A rug adds warmth and texture to a room and I love the contrast between great floorboards and simple rugs. The great thing about Alternative Flooring’s rugs is that they can be tailored to the size you need and you can make your own with their fabulous Make Me a Rug service. My favourite is the Sisal Malay Chen with the dark grey striped border.<\/p>\n

Finally, mantlepieces are one of a room\u2019s most overlooked assets. Think about your mantlepiece and make that a focal point in the room. Lean pictures, one in front of the other; add some empty frames, balls of string, toys, photos and (my current obsession) if the mantelpiece is big enough, a vintage motorcycle helmet or two.\u2019<\/p>\n

CoolBrands Alternative Flooring and Pedlars have also got together with ideas to refresh your kitchen for the summer.\u00a0 This competition is a great chance to win a cool rug and pendant light.<\/p>\n
