... that could feature in design books. You're probably wondering how I know all these tricks? When I was a stylist, I had to fine-tune flat decors before the photo shoot. Here you can find out more about my observations and the tips I've gleaned for my decor.

1. A question of atmosphere

As before every photo shoot, for my flat, I created a digital moodboard for my decor. In it, for each room, I put furniture and accessories to match the materials and colours chosen. In fashion, this could be a lipstick reflected in one of the colours of the outfit. In interior design, for example, it's the little touches of brass here and there provided by objects in the room that, through the effect of repetition, create a harmonious whole.

2. Misappropriated objects

The solution that first comes to mind isn't always the most aesthetically accomplished. For my kitchen utensils, ceramic vases supplant plastic or metal containers. As I don't have a dishwasher, I leave them to dry in there before putting them away.

3. Putting quality first

4. Organised clutter

To make a photo of an interior look as authentic as possible, add personal items here and there. The trick? It's to gather a few together in one place to avoid clutter. And trays with raised edges do just that. What's more, they're there to call you to order when you tend to leave things lying around too much.

5. Fine books
