USE WHAT YOU HAVE

Everyday objects can brighten up your home and add

interest, if you style them well. If your budget’s too

tight to splurge on decorative items and ornaments,

why not make use of what’s hiding in your cupboards,

ready to be displayed?

FLOWER POWER

Flowers add joy and life wherever

you see them – bathrooms,

bedrooms, kitchens and living

rooms – and spring is the time to

fill your home with blossoms. Get

creative in displaying them: an

outgrown pair of wellies can be

cleaned and painted up for a cute

‘vase’ option, as can tins and mason

jars of various sizes. Flowers can

also be pressed and framed for

something a little different.

‘A home without books

is a body

without a soul.’

PRETTY PLATES

Decorative, patterned

plates are wasted just

stacked in a cupboard

• select your favourites
  and show them off! They
  can be hung on walls,
  displayed on stands or
  arranged facing outwards
  on shelves and tables.
