And don't be afraid to mix and match furniture, such as different-style sofas and armchairs it will give you a homely eclectic look.

3/10 Kitchen
Georgiana's neutral kitchen has a modern-country vibe. Choose simple soft-grey units and wooden worktops for a pared-back look. Keep wall units to a minimum and fit tongue and groove panelling as a splashback to help the room appear spacious. To add splashes of colour, pick a patterened blind and invest in bright accessories.

5/10 Dining room
A simple shade of cream on the walls in the dining room keeps the scheme neutral and means the furniture and accessories can be easily changed for a new look. Display a large mirror on a wall like Georgiana has to make your dining space look bigger. When it comes to mood lighting, hang a couple of pendants over your table for meal times. Finish off your dining area with a few patterned cushions popped on chairs.

8/10 Spare bedroom
In the spare bedroom, Georgiana revamped the existing twin beds by painting them off-white. Make bunting to hang on your walls out of remnants of fabric and team with patchwork-style cushions. If you're feeling crafty why not have a go at making your own patchwork cushions.

9/10 Bathroom
The bathroom was rather dated when Georgiana moved in so she had it ripped up and this classic white suite fitted. Why not use tongue and groove panelling on the walls for a traditional style bathroom and add colour through bath mats and towels. When choosing your colour scheme pick out an accent colour from a blind or like Georgiana, her stained-glass window and choose accessories to match.
