|
Walls
Paint the walls in a large diamond pattern incorporating shades of blue, purple and green. Pencil out the diagonal lines at evenly spaced intervals. Then stick down low-tack masking tape to mask out the diamonds before painting. |
|
|
|
Flooring
Give the floor an unusual design. Split the room into two halves and paint one area in silver and the other in purple. |
|
|
|
Seating
Re-upholster the sofa in a purple velvet fabric and black outlining fabric. Cover a couple of floor cushions with the same purple fabric to enhance the effect. |
|
|
|
Lighting
Make a stylish light feature by mounting two vertical 2m strip lights to the wall and then cover these with large corrugated plastic sheets. Fill the ledge at the front with white pebbles and paint the edges purple. |
|
|
|
Breakfast bar
Construct a simple bar from MDF and a scaffolding pole. Attach the pole to the floor and ceiling. Cut out two shelves from curved MDF, thread the top shelf and middle shelf through the pole at one end and attach to the wall at the other end. |
|
|
|
Storage
Between the fireplace and the light feature build a false wall and put in two floor-to-ceiling cupboards using MDF and fretwork panels for the doors. Paint purple to match the walls. |
