Are you tired of the same old sofa but cannot afford a new suite? A few simple changes can help your living room look and feel like new without the outlay of new furniture.
Years of makeover shows have encouraged us to think of home decorating as a single, all-changing, event, but small changes can make a huge difference to the look and, more importantly, the feel, of a room.
Give your sofa a new lease of life with a few throws or new cushions. Give the room a lick of paint, and if you are feeling particularly adventurous you can add some vibrant colour with a feature wall, picking up this new theme in accents such as cushions and candlesticks. Never be afraid of introducing colour with paint — it is relatively inexpensive and, if you can do the painting yourself if the result is disastrous it is easily covered with a few coats of a safer hue. Finally, a new lamp or two will change the atmosphere of the room during the dark winter evenings ahead.
