7 EASY UPDATE
New furniture can be costly, so if you’re happy with the structure and condition of existing units, why not bring them up to scratch with a lick of paint? Begin by removing any doors, drawers and handles and then rub down lightly with a fine-grade sandpaper. Wipe the dust off with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Choosing a paint with a chalky finish is a good idea, as it’s hardwearing enough to cope with knocks and doesn’t require a primer before applying.
