The Museum of the Home has just announced the most fashionable auction of the year, raising funds for their new campaign - Behind the Door.
The online auction showcases the best of the interior, art, and fashion worlds - so you can improve your home decor for a good cause. 100% of the funds from these stylish sales will contribute to the charity that was launched alongside the London Homeless Collective.
Lots at the auction include a wallpaper panel painting masterclass at luxury wallpaper, Studio de Gournay, and an interiors consultation with Maria Speake, the woman behind Retrouvius interior design.

Sonia Solicari, Director of the Museum of the Home, hopes that bidders will 'rethink the meaning of home' whilst enjoying these exclusive experiences.
She explained: 'The Behind the Door campaign is synonymous with the Museum of the home's revised vision, to reveal and rethink the meaning of home in order to live better together. We are hugely thankful for the support of the creative, fashion, and design community who have been kind enough to contribute a selection of impressive prizes for this cause and who are devoting their time and energy towards this campaign.'
'The Museum is deeply committed to make a difference in people's lives and raise funds and awareness for this vital cause over the next two years,' Sonia added.
