Annie’s five quick upcycling ideas for the home

Pining for paint

Paint every bit of pine in your house – all of it! It will transform the whole house!

Waxing lyrical

Wax a wall to give it a beautiful texture.

Revamp a lamp

Make a lampshade and paint it – it’s so easy, honestly!

Colour crazy

Paint everything in a room in neutral shades, and then paint one piece in a strong, standout colour.

It’s what’s inside

Similarly, take a piece of furniture, paint the outside in a subdued, pale shade and then paint the inside with a bright colour.
