| Sofa, Adventures in Furniture |
Everyone loves leather sofas, right? Wrong. The pieces that stood out for me the most were much more textural, more interesting to touch. Using light neutrals helps to bounce natural light around your space, and the base colours can be accessorised with throws and cushions that permeate your colour scheme throughout the room. Big, blocky styles like this sofa are really comfortable to sit in and have real presence in the room.

| Hanging planters from Where the Wild Things Are room set, Nisha Stevens |
These hanging planters were everywhere in the show, and turn up on my pinterest feed all the time. There are loads of different tutorials available with different knotted patterns, so have a look around and see what you like best. Be careful what plant pot you use, though; one with a hole in the base will drip dirty plant water through to your floor!

| Herringbone flooring, Jack Evie |
I absolutely adored this flooring idea. Herringbone patterns in tiles are everywhere now, so why not floors? The use of stained or painted pieces brings a subtle colour into the room, in a really unique way. And this effect is so easy to recreate at home with reclaimed flooring or even by applying wood stains to shop-bought pieces. Test the mix out first before you lay them, to make sure the effect looks right in the room.
That's it for Grand Designs Live. If you'd like to see more photos from the show, look here or go to the Grand Designs Live twitter feed.
