We've just moved in, the whole house is magnolia! DD and DS know what they want in there rooms but apart from that I don't know where to start everywhere else particularly in the kitchen/diner and the sitting room - where can I go for ideas inspiration?

Living etc gallery.
Dulux colour website.

I meant Living etc website - gallery.

Any home magazine, especially ones like Ideal Home, BBC Good Homes where they have their own stylists decorate rooms and explain how they use their colours.

Go to local newsagents, browse many and then buy some so as not to piss off shopkeeper

Save money on all the interiors mags and look at Living etc online and other interior design blogs and forums instead.

I think www.mydeco.com has a 'design a room' section - in any case, there's loads of ideas/competitions/listings.

I think it's important to live in the space for a little while before taking the decorating plunge, you get to know more about how the light in the rooms behave, which rooms will need brightening up, where furniture you have will/can go & what goes with it. How you use the room, and how often.
Exciting stuff!
