We're all guilty of scrolling through Instagram and wishing we could transport the interiors looks from the grid directly into our own homes.
Now it's possible, as top interiors influencerErica Davies has joined forces with QVC to create a collection inspired by her own home.
With over 15 years experience in the fashion industry as a stylist and journalist, she upped sticks from south-east London to renovate a house in the countryside on the Essex/Suffolk border.
A fan of scouring eBay and trawling the high street, Erica gives her 133,000 followers on Instagram a daily look into her stylish home.
Here she offers an insight into the trends to look out for and how to style your home on a budget.
1. What homeware to invest in
A piece of art can act as an expression of your personality on the walls of your home. it's also one of the easiest ways to create a talking point in a room.
If you can't stretch to an original artwork, opt for a wall print from eBay or Etsy. You can get them personalised for an extra special touch.
"I think a real statement piece of art is a good one, and you don’t have to make it expensive.
"Something large that will dominate a room and provide a focal point is a really quick and easy way to give your room an update," says Davies.
2. Why a bedroom is the easiest room to update
When you've decided to transform your home, it's difficult to decide which room to tackle first.
The bedroom is probably the room where you will spend the longest time, so make it a priority.
"For me a bedroom would be the easiest to makeover. A new lick of paint on the walls won’t cost a fortune, but it will completely refresh the space.
"Build on the scheme by adding new cushions, a fresh duvet set or even a statement, inexpensive rug.
"I also think having plants in a bedroom really adds texture and interest," says Davies.
3. Where to look for inspiration
With endless hashtags to follow and people sharing photos of their homes across social media, the internet is a treasure trove of inspiration.
But, it's not the only place to look to spark your imagination.
"It could be a restaurant, a hotel I’m staying in, someone walking down the street in a really cool outfit, or the way somebody might put colours together might spark something.
"I might just see a cushion and that would spark an entire theme, so I find inspiration absolutely everywhere," says Davies.
4. These are the trends to look out for in 2019
Luckily, lots of home decor trends are carrying over from last season so there's no need to splash out on totally new items if you're on a budget.
"There are still so many botanical prints, but they are moving into less natural colours, so look for faux in colours other than green.
"I've noticed a lot of circular trends – circular foot stalls and circular tables," says Davies.
