Chintz
A dominant homeware that came to prominence in the 1940s, chintz fabric could never be used sparingly. In fact, the heavier the floral motif the better.
An easy way to establish a quintessentially English interior, this over-the-top look was also popular in American properties, where everything from curtains to wallpaper was done out in brash clashing prints.
Ditch the chintz and your home will instantly look about 30 years younger!
Wood paneling
Unless you’re rocking a cool mid-century modern home with a butterfly roofline, there really is no excuse for excessive interior wood paneling.
If your walls, doors and ceilings match, then you know it’s time to take that cladding to the scrap heap.
Freed from overbearing swathes of wood, your home will feel so much lighter and brighter.
