Same goes for a bathroom and kitchen.

We are buying a doer-upper (fingers crossed it all goes smoothly).

The bathroom and kitchen is a million years old and needs ripping out.
Every room is carpet less and doesnt look as though it's been decorated since 1982.

We have to start from scratch.

I've never decorated a place, I've always rented.
I've no idea what I like, I've no idea if DH and I like the same thing! We need to look at ideas and inspiration and I've no idea where to look.

Can anyone help?

My top tip is think about eras and places you like, then pinterest search based on that. "Modern art livingroom" or "Edwardian kitchen" or "french style bedroom" or "scandi house" or "colourful wallpaper" or "mid century sofa" for example. Pin all the pics you like in your search results, then pinterest will be able to give you better suggestions next time.

That's a very good tip. I'm going to try that now, thank you
