CLEVER DECORATING: Wallpaper hacks

Cover drawers

Revive a bland basic with the addition of textured wallpaper. Apply to the fronts of a simple Ikea chest of drawers, adding sleek handles, for a touch of designer chic.

Give it a twist…..

Anaglypta Hive wallpaper, £11.50 a roll, Wallpaper Direct. Koppang unit, £135, Ikea. Magni leather handles, £13.99 each, Dowsing & Reynolds. Black 8mm steel rods, £5.82 for six, Metals4U

Glam panels

Create a feature wall with a difference by pasting a mural on the wall and then using strips of MDF to create panelling to fix in place over it.

MURAL EFFECT

Choose a paper that depicts a view or a scene, rather than an all-over print

Style statement

Give it a twist…..
