All you hoarders out there take note – shelves are key to a stylish display and these ones look great against Dulux Colour of the Year 2012 on the walls 21/436

The start of a new year is the perfect time for a new look, and where better to begin than at home.

There’s no need to break the bank! You can go along way with a lick of paint and some gorgeous new blinds at your windows. Arrange an appointment with one of our advisors and he or she will come to you with our full range. So not only do you get to choose from the comfort of your own home but you’re also able to match fabrics to wall colours, furniture or accessories. It’s the ultimate in convenience!

But if your home’s in need of more dramatic intervention, consider a domestic detox. It’s simple – get sorting, decluttering and generally separating the rubbish from the things that really matter to you.

We’ve teamed up with some very fabulous experts to offer you tips on decluttering and generally brightening things up. From storage solutions to interior design assistance, we’ve got it all covered! Plus, visit our facebook page and you’ll have the chance to enter our detox competition too!

For the next week or so, Marianne Shillingford, Design Director at the Dulux Design Service will be sharing her ideas for detoxing your home.

And today she’s ‘considering clutter’.

Explains Marianne, ‘You don’t have to hire a skip to deal with the clutter in your life, instead why not hire a Dulux interior designer who can help you with some tricks of the trade.

‘Unapologetic hoarders will let stuff pile up in their homes no matter how hard they try not too.  An interior designer can help you display things properly to prevent accessories from overwhelming a room.

‘With plenty of shelf space, and the right storage solutions an interior designer can help you get your colour scheme just right to balance the visual noise.’
