KNOCK KNOCK

Make the doors your new canvas. Colour them in striking, contrasting shades for an instant effect.

BREATHE FRESH

To add greenery inside the living room, place a flowering shrub in a pop-coloured planter. Keep it in a lit-up spot.

PRINT IT

Convert any old grandfather’s chair into a trendy wing-style by reupholstering it in a bold print fabric.

FLOOR-ED

Who says the rug can only be in solid or dull shades? Go ahead, invest in one that screams colour.

TRIMMINGS

Paint those wooden frames in the similar hue of the walls, but in a brighter shade, for a French effect.

CUSHIONED COMFORT

Adorn your light coloured furniture with bright ikkat print cushions. They add an interesting element to the room.

SPLASH OFF

If you have a monochromatic room, throw in a bold coloured coffee table. Paint it yourself or buy it off the rack— it is an instant mood uplifter.

DIY LACE

Paint a table in a bright shade and seal it with a varnish. Now, stick lace strips along the sides of the racks to get your unique side table.

BED HEAD

Do away with the traditional headboard to create space in the room. Then pin up a bold bed cover behind the bed to make a gigantic dramatic headboard.

DRESS UP

Paint your old dark dressing table in a peppy colour for a visible uplift to the room. Tip: Place it next to a window to lend an illusion of open space to the room.

LIGHT UP

Think out-of-the-box for your outdoor chandelier requirement. This mason jar chandelier is colourful and can be painted easily at home (with the help of your children)!
