WEEKEND UPDATE

-

Quickest way to revive a tired room? It’s all about the woodwork. Paint the door frame and skirting boards in a shade that really contrasts with the walls and it’ll look like a whole new space. Here’s how: begin by sanding back existing paint before wiping clean and taping off the areas you’re updating; for the door frame, start painting on the inside and at the middle point of the frame, then work in up-and-down motions to create an even finish; for the skirting, paint horizontal­ly from the top, followed by the bottom and finally fill in the middle. And that really is it. One weekend project, one whole new room, done.
