Here are five great ways to improve your home either by using the space you have more wisely or simply by making it look stunning.

The illusion of space

When converting an attic or boxroom into a bedroom, use a light reflective paint on the walls. Dulux's Light & Space range is a good option as it contains their unique LumiTec technology.

It reflects up to twice as much light around the room, making even the smallest of rooms look and feel more spacious.

Ditch the carpet

Revolutionise your living room by replacing the carpet with real wooden flooring and add a fireplace like the Turner Gas Feature Fire.
