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…..
Once papered, paint the whole cabinet a dark green or navy to bring it bang up to date
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.
Give it a twist…..
Paint the panelling a darker shade of grey or black, to give the illusion of a view through black steel-framed windows.
MURAL EFFECT
Choose a paper that depicts a view or a scene, rather than an all-over print
Style statement
Run a length of wallpaper from the floor, right over the ceiling and back down the other wall – a true talking point over dinner. Continue the paper over cornicing and even skirting boards for added impact.
Give it a twist…..
