1. Paint effects

Rag rolling, stencilling and sponge finish paint effects, made popular on shows such as Changing Rooms in the nineties, topped the list of modern bad design. Time to get the paintbrush out again…

    If we wait long enough all these will come back to fashion, in a world where people are in so much need, Ithink we should change when necessary, not for fashion, besides I'm a Yorkshire man we can't waste brass!

    Doctor Dyson (love it!) forgets that when we in the uk have weather most of the year now (thanks to global warming/freezing/flooding) to match those granite worktops and floors, with all the warmth from the sun of the so chic-chi cold steelwork, the last thing we want to live in is something like the set of Metropolis. This fad for hard stone, pale wood and steel (brushed or shiny as a Chrysler's hubcaps) is just NOT British! Send it back, flatpacked and easy-to-reassemble (with the help of six friends) to Scandinavia or China, or wherever it was spawned, but let's not have the Style Mafia dictate how our most adored possession - the core of our being - should look. Does anyone tell the Queen that all those heavy gilt-frame pictures are SO 17th Century? I doubt it!

    if there is a credit crunch people would not even bother changing to what is considered new and fashionable

    I didn't buy my house for someone else to come along and tell me how to decorate it! If I like it and I'm comfortable with it, why does it need to be "fashionable"? Everyone knows fads only last a short time so why bother changing everything? Each to their own, I say.
