CLEVER TRICKS TO MINI DECOR PROJECTS... WE ROUND UP THE SIMPLEST, QUICKEST WAYS TO MAKE YOUR HOME MORE BEAUTIFUL NOW

- 

1 ADD A STATEMENT MIRROR

Sometimes all it takes to refresh a room is one new piece - and a curvy or wiggly mirror can give your space a whole new feel. Whether you choose one that's wall-hung or freestanding, pick a design that's interesting in shape or texture to draw your eye towards it.

2 PAINT A CHALKBOARD WALL

Want a clever way for the family to remember their chores, important dates and update the weekly shopping list? Paint a large chalkboard area on your wall, where everyone can see it. No more leaving sticky notes or updating a tiny wall calendar! Try painting a plate that you can hang either on its own or with other artwork. Use ceramic paint for your design, then attach a plate hanger to secure it to the wall.

4 GO BOLD!

The daylight might not be brightening your home at this time of year, but your furniture can, so add in a piece that's bold for a burst of colour.
