TRY A SPEEDY STYLE UPDATE

Fun and simple ideas to make the most of your home

1 Layer up your bedding

Recharge your sleep space with a fresh new look for autumn. Focus on the bed, replacing a tired duvet set with a mix of pretty linens in patterns and prints with plain coloured throws and knits to pull everything together.

2Give PAINT KITCHEN CABINETS

shabby wooden cupboards a new lease of life. Use hardwearing eggshell paint so any marks and spills are easy to wipe away.

3 Style up a sideboard with favourite things

Create an artfully arranged display on a shelf or surface. Pick a selection of pieces in different heights and sizes and arrange in small groups rather than one long line up.

4 CREATE A COSY CORNER SET UP

Open-plan living areas can sometimes feel a little too large and open, so try breaking up the space into smaller, cosier zones. Use corner seating as an anchor point with layered rugs on the floor and occasional tables within easy reach.
