When looking at your home, why not create a cosy space where you can tuck yourself away and spend some time doing what you enjoy; reading, writing, playing a game or sitting with a cup of tea? It is your room, your space and your time; so it has to be perfectly yours!

You may think of a den as a dark, heavy, masculine room in maroons, greens, blues and greys. Choose colours you are comfortable with; if you like lighter colours, use them. Visit www.teknoshome.co.uk and choose from 769 beautiful shades.

Pictured here is PJ 8351; lighter walls make a stunning contrast against dark woods, casual leather furniture, and blinds and curtains. 

Think of lighting with your new colour too – for ambience and eye strain, avoid harsh, overhead lights. Set a floor lamp in the corner next to your comfortable chair; and/or a small table or desk with some books and a plant. And lastly, art; what colour will bring out the best in your wall art?  That’s personal too!
