Make bookcases beautiful<\/h3>\n
We love bookcases<\/a> because they\u2019re not only useful, but they also have gorgeous display capacities. Order books by the colour of their spine rather than in typical A-Z fashion for a dazzling ombre effect. You can also line the interior of the bookcase with wallpaper to make yours one-of-a-kind.<\/p>\n Copenhagen small bookcase<\/a><\/p>\n While you don\u2019t necessarily need to reorder your life to adhere to the principles of feng shui, it won\u2019t hurt to press reset on your home decor. Try moving things from room-to-room and make pieces that are usually tucked away in more private spots, like the bedroom<\/a>, the focal points of communal rooms and spaces.<\/p>\n Looking to channel your home redesign energy into your bedroom?<\/p>\n You don\u2019t need to be a Picasso to paint your home, nor do you need to splurge on a decorating team to get elbows deep for you. If you\u2019re a DIY novice, enlist the help of a friend or partner and tackle the task together. Make the job uncomplicated; paint a feature wall, the skirting boards, or even a two-tone wall. If you\u2019re feeling confident enough then you could undertake the \u2018fifth wall\u2019 – the ceiling! A fresh lick of paint can have transformative effects on the rest of the room.<\/p>\n Bevel king-size bed<\/a> |\u00a0Hercules side table<\/a><\/p>\n Similarly, you can repaint ageing but beloved pieces of furniture to give them a new lease of life. Reinvigorate their original coat or try a whole new shade to totally reinvent the piece.<\/p>\n You can also use new materials to recover upholstery that you\u2019ve become a bit bored of. This technique requires precision, but works a treat on sofas<\/a>, armchairs<\/a> or accent chairs<\/a>. If you don\u2019t have much experience, try practising by making new cushion covers with eye-catching prints or textural materials like velvet.<\/p>\n Check out our living room ideas on a budget<\/a> for more expert home style advice that won\u2019t break the bank.<\/p>\n Speaking of soft furnishings, updating yours is not only incredibly easy, but it\u2019s a cheap update in the grand scheme of things. For example, a new area rug can shake up the whole room\u2019s appearance and introduce a refreshed colour palette for you to bounce off. Alternatively, you can craft your own dining table<\/a> runner with spare fabrics that you might have lying around.<\/p>\n Orrick king-size bed<\/a> |\u00a0St. Ives bedside table<\/a><\/p>\n You don\u2019t need to retile the entirety of your kitchen or bathroom – you could make a feature of the backsplashes around the hob or sink, or make the area around the shower a prime focus. Either way, refurbishments like these could be the small refreshes that your home is crying out for.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re not feeling that brave, then tile paint could be a simpler alternative to revamping your space.<\/p>\n If you want some home design tips specific for your budget, check out the blog where we breakdown what\u2019s realistically possible for what you want to spend.<\/p>\n Unsightly curtains can have a hugely unpleasant effect on an otherwise lovely interior design scheme. Maybe you\u2019ve always wanted to change yours; if you\u2019ve got a little more room in your budget, you might want to install French shutters, a fresh set of blinds or billowing curtains. If you\u2019ve got less cash to work with, even a new trim can completely alter the appearance of curtains.<\/p>\n Original art and prints – though an incredible addition to any room – are often not very budget-friendly. Instead, frame old magazine covers for your bathroom or last year\u2019s calendar pages in the hallway, giving paper destined for the recycling bin a new use. Otherwise, give your kids\u2019 artwork pride of place over the dining room table or have family, friends and guests contribute to a hilarious Polaroid wall.<\/p>\n![\"Copenhagen](\"https:\/\/www.oakfurnitureland.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/L162_Copenhagen_CHN013_SmallBookcase_Front.RT-S-800x800.jpg\")
