Despite players and fans alike looking forward to a mouth-watering showdown with France to see who would come out on top of Pool C, the group ended in a bit of an anti-climax for England.

When you really think about it, priority will probably go to get the living room done because this is where the family spends most of their time. This is where you get together and where you entertain guests when they come over. But how is it possible to do this effectively without...
