Makeover your home using these straightforward, fun, simple and low-cost ideas to bring a POP of colour into your interior spaces using paint, wallpaper, flowers, plants, cushions or throws. It could transform your life too. Geraldine James' practical solutions offer those who are not confident enough to embark on expensive renovations ways to redecorate that can be easily reversed. Encouraging us to experiment, she looks at different ways you can bring colour into the home starting with adding single pops of colour in a neutral space, such as red cushions, plates, bowls and rugs in a living space then she looks at colour walls - painting a single wall with a bright colour which can really lift a room without much investment (and you can always repaint if you change your mind). Or bring living colour into a room using flowers and houseplants, terrariums and succulents. Or why not go for a multi-coloured look with checks, stripes or floral patterns whether that is by papering a wall, or painting a floor - the effects can be bold and uplifting. Textiles too can bring a softer textural layer of colour to a room whilst wall art can bring a focal point. Whatever your choice of colour palette, Geraldine will offer the perfect solution so get experimenting now.

Let Geraldine James show you how to reinvent your home with new and exciting ways to make it uniquely yours.

The Creative Home brings together the best of Geraldine James's Creative series of books and shows how to apply these ideas in your own home. There are four chapters on different areas of the house - Cook and Eat features kitchens and dining areas, Relax and Socialize covers living rooms, Work and Create includes home offices and studios, and Sleep and Bathe, of course, shows bedrooms and bathrooms. A final chapter, Store and Display, shows how your home can be used to show off your treasures and store your collections. Each chapter features rooms of different styles - from sleek and minimal, to Aladdin's caves belonging to collectors of anything and everything, thrifty chic-style rooms furnished with second-hand buys, and renovated homes with no expense spared - as well as displays featuring designer items alongside inherited family heirlooms. However, the one thing every room has in common, whatever its style or purpose, is that it has been furnished and decorated with great attention to detail.
