FACE THE LIGHT
Keen for a style update without spending a
cent? Easy! Unlock the post-winter arrangement
of your living room furniture by opening up
your setting towards the windows. It’s more
receptive to casual Christmas gatherings, too.19

LAYER UP
LOVELINESS
You can quickly reinvent
the appeal of your living
room by updating cushions,
throws, artwork, reading
lamps or accessories. That’s
the easy bit! But have you
considered investing in
reupholstering that hand-
me-down ottoman, sofa or
armchair? You’ll love them
for so many more years if
you do! For the eagle eyes,
also note how two rugs are
better than one, even when
layered in a carpeted room.PICK A BUNCH (OR TWO!)
The range of flowers on offer at the shops or
perhaps blooming in your own yard make this
time of the year positively joyous. Whether it’s
a single variety or a mix of a few, arrange your
haul in a vase for a smile-inducing display. ■HOME IMPROVEMENTS
