I just finished moving around the furniture in my living room on friday night – after renting a piano, the whole spacial planning had gone haywire – so I feel as expert as I ever will on the subject of how to update your living room easily… just as well since the lovely people at Fads asked me for my tips on the subject. One of them being, get yourself sorted with lighting to make sure you can create what we in the business call ‘mood’.

For other ideas on this subject plus loads more features, head over to the Fads blog and feel free to come back and let me know if I’ve missed anything crucial. You readers are always brilliant at that. x
