Minimalism might sell houses, but a dash of designer eccentricity will bring your home to life

Even if your taste leans towards clean modernist lines, there’s room for eclectic flourishes that make it feel warmer and more personal. For the rest of us, who adore walls adorned with artworks, quirky ornamental pieces and heaps of soft furnishings, well, let’s not hold back! Maximalism is so in vogue right now, it would be a shame not to indulge.

Unleash your inner Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen with animal prints, ornaments and lashings of art. We all need something to take our minds off the winter, so bring on the fun, the funky and frivolous, right now!
