DEAR LETTERBOX, We take a look at some of your home problems and offer you the best advice.

I WANT TO BE BRAVE, WHAT SOFA COLOUR SHOULD I GO FOR IN A GREY ROOM? Any really! The great thing with a Grey room is how versitile and complementary it is towards any colour. We would advise at looking at key pieces in the space that you're wanting to keep and go from there. Picking a sofa colour that compliments those other pieces is more of a task than matching to the Grey. If you are lacking any other colour, splashing colour with a striking sofa will lift your space from bland to interesting!

I HAVE A RENTED PROPERTY - I'M UNABLE TO PAINT - HOW ELSE CAN I INCORPORATE COLOUR? You don't need paint on the walls to get a sense of colour. Make sure your soft furnishings all carry a mixture of tones and don't be afraid to layer. Use command strips to safely secure wall paintings, prints and even fabric hangings. Finish your space with coloured accessories including candles, vases, flowers and plants.

I LOVE THE MINIMALIST LOOK IN THE KITCHEN - HOW CAN I CUT THE CLUTTER? Great question - when it comes to the kitchen, its about making use of every cupboard. Buying yourself storage baskets and contraptions will help keep everything contained and in

place is really helpful. Consider in

cupboard shelving too to make use of those gaps you can get when organising smaller items.
