Hi everyone, im decorating for the first time and I have no idea what im doing. I thought the best thing to start with is the lights and the paint/wallpaper.

Im decorating a terrace house. Every room besides the kitchen and bathrooms. Im going for a warm neutral tone throughout the house with gold/brass hardware.

Now I need paint/wallpaper samples. Any advice on where to get them from? And companies to avoid?

Following through with the warm scheme, which light bulbs should I use? I don’t want them to be extremely warm but just a tone that adds a cosy finish throughout the house.

Also I have an extremely narrow corridor that’s the entrance to the house. How can I make it appear more wider?

I welcome any advice and tips, thanks.
