2. Colours. Dark colours like greens, blues and ochres will be the in thing, but with an accompanying modern touch of pink or fuchsia to add a chic contrast.

3. Grey, beige, off-white and pastel colours will also be popular, together with metal effects, in a new version of Victorian design fused with other features that have certain industrial echoes.

4. Ceilings are all important, with showy lighting (chandeliers, above all) and mouldings. As for fabrics, fancy-looking curtains, with velvets and floral prints, will take pride of place.

5. And don’t forget to feature candles, sideboards, mirrors and ornate picture frames for that aristocratic touch you seek to lend your home.
