Neutral living room with festive decorations
When Rebecca first moved into the cottage she whitewashed all the walls to give a blank canvas but, after living with it for a while, she found it suited most of the rooms and was in keeping with the age of the house. An open fire can create a lovely cosy feel, especially in the winter months. Create a pretty display on a mantelpiece with traditional festive decorations and use a vintage-style trunk to store throws and blankets.

In Rebecca's daughter's bedroom the scheme has been kept white so she doesn't outgrow the look too quickly. To give it personality, Rebecca went for a bright and funky blind and colourful cushions on the bed. Create an easy storage solution in an alcove with some built-in shelving and use them to display your children's favourite things. Pick a bed with storage underneath or one that you can easily slide boxes under to hide away clutter.
