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.

You can browse the complete list of donors and prizes and bid for items via the Museum of the Home website. 

Sonia Solicari, Director of the Museum of the Home, hopes that bidders will 'rethink the meaning of home' whilst enjoying these exclusive experiences.
