Small space, BIG IDEAS

1. Create a cosy nook

If you have an L-or U-shaped staircase, make better use of the central space left behind with a small seating area. A set of stacking side tables and a slim armchair make the perfect perch for taking off shoes or cosying up with a good book. Turio burnt orange chair, £80, stool, £30, Merak side table set, £45, all B&Q

2. Make a wall art display

Create an eye-catching gallery wall to display prints and your favourite phrases. Unframed prints, from £8.95, Desenio

3. Spruce up stair risers

Use leftover wallpaper in complementary colours to give your stairs a quick and simple update. Give the risers a light sand, cut the wallpaper to size, then fix in place with wallpaper paste. Annie Sloan decoupage paper RHS Roundabouts, £11.95, Annie Sloan

4. Zone open-plan spaces

When your hallway is part of a larger open-plan layout, it's important to define the different spaces with some carefully chosen furniture. A coat stand fills an unused corner and a short bench for changing shoes can be positioned against the stairs. Bamboo cane coat stand, £99, Joseph oak effect dining bench, £59, jute cushion, from £16, coastal framed prints, £28 for set of three, all Dunelm

5. Go bold with colour
