this cool house uses Mexican resort style to keep things steamy. If a blanket is too daunting, start with a patchwork pillow. Comb your drawers for abandoned jumpers (or check out op-shops), wash them in very hot water (this helps to felt the wool and prevent it from unravelling), cut into squares and stitch together.
Upcycle pallets Inexpensive and versatile, pallets can act as the building blocks of an outdoor living space. Top them with cushions and foam seating pads to create a casual sofa, then use one as a coffee table and another as a side table, complete with drinks. It’s a budget-friendly approach to creating a complete outdoor lounge area
First, apply a wood or multi-surface primer to your piece of wooden furniture (use the multi-surface option if you’re painting over old paint), and leave it to dry. Once dry, sand it down so the paint will adhere to it, give it a dust and then slap on a few coats of paint. You can use an all-in-one primer paint if you want to skip the first few steps.
Mount a merry mural Celebrate Christmas your way with a unique wall mural. This one has been created by mounting straw hats in a tree shape, topped off with a bold red star. But why stop there? Experiment with other Christmassy accessories, such as baubles or wreaths, for a festive look that really reflects you.
For such a beautifully festive aesthetic, this look is unbelievably easy to recreate. On your next jaunt to the park, grab some long tree branches and leave them to dry. Then arrange them in a heavy vase and decorate with simple, white decorations. Do keep them light, though – heavy ornaments could result in unintentional accidents.
I relabeled the wine bottles using enamel paint and a small bristle brush.
"I like large-scale items like vases or cloches, and use varying heights to add more interest," Sims says.
Sims suggests adding layers and height to your table to direct the gaze upward. "Using the entire wall makes the setting really interesting. I almost always hang something from the ceiling or from trees if we're outdoors, whether it be a garland, banner, lights, pom-poms or lanterns," she says. To add height to my display, I suspended a window and dressed it with a colorful garland.
Coat a metal tray with chalkboard spray paint and write your personalized message on top. This project can be used year-round. Avoid placing food directly on the surface; the tray works best for displaying wineglasses, jars or candles.

The other, and often easier route, is to find just the right paint color. This room offers a very modern take on ebonizing, with the bed and the side tables showing off the beauty and brilliance that is the ebony look.
How to get the ebony effect. There are many different ways to ebonize timber, from simple to extremely complex. One popular way is to take a torn-up steel wool pad and some rusty nails. Soak them in white vinegar for a few days in an airtight container, then strain the vinegar well for a dark tan stain. Apply several coats to the wood using a foam brush, lightly sanding between coats.

“Translated into interiors it’s about primitive, raw elements, old textile techniques and rug work, borrowing and adapting traditional tribal patterns from old cultures, like Aztec and Moroccan.”
