Do you have a room you had all the best intentions for, but never really got there decorating wise? This reading cum music room is a great example. The walls were patched and painted as time allowed, while the furniture was functional but didn’t really go together. To transform your hotchpotch of a room into a welcoming, cohesive space, start with a clear out, then break out the painting gear to create a clean and calm backdrop with a cool, fresh white. Upcycle old bookcases with timber mouldings, then get rid of an unwanted desk and gain a classy console with a clever furniture hack.
