It's the age-old question - how can I add character to my home?

For those living in new builds or the boxy dimensions of the 70/80s it can be overwhelming when considering injecting a touch of personality in such a bland space.

In this episode we explore the differences between adding character and following trends. We also offer the answers in terms of light touches that won't break the bank.

For those that are dealing with slightly too much 'character' added by previous owners we also guide you through finding a subtle balance.

We answers your questions in our Ask Us Anything segment - if you want your questions answered for the next episode DM us on Insta!
