Real-Life Inspiration

Welcome to our real-life inspiration pages. This is where you can get great ideas for your home and lifestyle from people that have already been there, and done that.

We've got a family of five who upped sticks from London to Cornwall in search of a better quality of life by the sea.

Next up is our twenty-something investment banker who wanted to splash his city bonus on his minimalist bachelor pad ? although he wouldn't have had a clue without his girlfriend's help.

We'll be adding more real-life stories like these over the next few weeks and months to help you work out exactly how you'd like your home to be. So whether you're looking for a fire or simply some ideas, you're bound to get some ideas from these inspiring tales.
