Give your built-in wardrobe a fabulous new look with a single roll of wallpaper. Paste the panels with a floral design for an inexpensive yet pretty update. This is an easy look to update whenever you fancy a different design. Pick out the colour tones with a cosy armchair and patchwork cushion for a modern country bedroom.

2/10 Living room chimney breast focal point
Create an up-to-date living room and fabulous focal point by painting your chimney breast a striking shade. In a large space you can get away with dark colour when the rest of the room is kept neutral. Here, a deep charcoal grey is uplifted with zingy yellow curtains and cushions. A fresh white mantel makes an eye-catching contrast and we love the woodland branch scupture in the alcove!

3/10 Kitchen blackboard door
Here's a fantastic and fun way to help organise your familiy's activies. Paint the back of a kitchen door with inexpensive blackboard paint and hang chalk with string on the door handle. Not only does it look cool, it's a great place for shopping lists, telephone messages and the kids can doodle while you're preparing dinner. Or why not think big and paint a whole wall?
