SHINE THE LIGHT

Reading lamps at each end of your sofa,

a task light on the desk and standard

lamps by your sideboard... Plug-in

lighting options are the simplest way to

introduce ambience to a room. Just shop

for designs to suit your homemaker style.

ADD PATTERN WITH PAPER

Never fear! You can ditch dreary walls with

graphic patterned wallpaper – it’s so easy to

apply! PS, contemporary bedroom furniture

with a subtle nod to industrial styling fits

the bill for a Scandinavian scheme.

COVER IT!

If the kids have pushed

the fabric on your lounge

setting to the point of no

return, and you’re a wiz on

the sewing machine, stitch

up loose covers to fit over

each piece. Also consider

updating your coffee table

and rug – it’s the small

changes that make massive

impact. Since we’re

talking, take note of the

colour scheme: soft pink,

bright white and warm

timber floors... heavenly!

Don’t be shy! Soft pink

is cool, contemporary and

oh-so playful, too
