Decorating a blank space

No original features? No problem with these clever ideas...

Decorating ideas - image - livingetc.com
We all crave a home filled with personality and character, but we don't all have architectural features that provide a natural starting point. Wherever you live – a purpose-built flat, Seventies semi or Victorian terrace that's been stripped of its unique selling points – creating focus, depth and interest without original period elements can be daunting. Equally, the blank canvas of a boxy modern home isn't necessarily inspirational. So how do you redress the balance and invigorate a blank interior? Forget reinstating lost features – instead, employ clever decorative tricks that manipulate space, colour, scale and light to produce a stunning new dynamic.
