Stuck on a paint colour, a layout, or a corner that refuses to work? Send it over. Khizra reads reader mail every Tuesday and Friday.
Answers to the usual four
Yes, as far as one email can. Send a photo, the room’s orientation and roughly what you have to spend, and we will point you at a palette, a layout or a guide that fits. We cannot take on paid design work.
Please do — they are the best part of the inbox. Tell us whether we may publish them; the default is no, and we never use a photo without a written yes.
No paid placements or link insertions. We do occasional clearly-labelled partnerships when the product is something we already use, and editorial control stays with us.
Send the page and what you saw — Ahmed handles the technical side and Jo checks factual corrections. Corrections are noted at the foot of the article.
