CLEVER DECORATING
SIX STYLISH PROJECTS TO UPDATE AND ORGANISE YOUR SLEEP SPACE
CUSTOM UNITS
Choose door fronts in neutral shades so you can easily change up the wall colour
Go for built-in design Create a ‘bespoke’ built-in combination by teaming wall cabinets with simple drawer units that fit flush. We personalised ours with smart leather drawer pulls.
Give it a twist Go for floor-to-ceiling units, painting them the same colour as the chimney breast for barely-there storage.
HAPPY COLOUR
Paint the door yellow for a flash of colour when you open it
Make use of every inch Add handy shelves to the back of a door. Use over-the-door hooks, a key organiser and a kitchen rail with S-hooks to keep your favourite accessories ready to grab and go.
Give it a twist Cover the inside of the door with a wire grid notice board, to tie necklaces, bracelets and scarves to.
SLIM FIT
Use a wallmounted wire magazine rack as a book holder
PAINT CHEAT SHEET
Spritzer, £38.38 for 2.5ltr, Ideal Home range at Albany
Faded Denim, £20 for 2.5ltr, Dulux
Sunlight, £52 for 2.5ltr, Little Greene
Use the height Hang a high shelf in a box room by laying a scaffolding plank on to brackets. Add grab-handled baskets that fit flush to the ceiling and don’t intrude into the space.
Give it a twist Paint the underside of the shelf and brackets the same colour as the wall, so when lying in bed it all blends in.
RACK’EM UP
Hanging one of the spice racks upside down adds a bar that’s ideal for S hooks
Hack some racks Create a hair styling station by using Ikea spice racks to create handy shelves for all your lotions and potions.
Give it a twist Paint the shelves the same colour as the wall for a seamless look.
