TIME FOR A Change

When it comes to any makeover, the first thing you need to budget for is time. Having enough time to complete your project or ensuring you're working quickly enough to avoid materials drying out, is key to making sure you enjoy the process. After all, makeovers are meant to be fun! These ideas are grouped to help you choose what you'd like to tackle, whether you have a couple of hours, a couple of days, or a long weekend. YH

1 Shape up

Brighten your outlook by creating cheerful murals. Start by painting onto large pieces of paper, then cut simple shapes out of the painted paper. Draw around side plates to get perfect circles or draw simple floral shapes. Then play around with the positioning of the paper shapes and even repaint them if you're not happy with the colours. Once you're satisfied with your design, use a pencil to lightly trace around the edges of your shapes onto the wall. Then you can remove the paper stencils and paint in your design for real.
