  • Use trial and error with the rearrangement of your furniture
  • Ask family and friends their opinions
  • Put it on your social media page as a poll, with different photos of the room for people to choose
  • Head onto an interior design Facebook group and ask the experts what they would recommend.

Remember, you need to feel happy with what others suggest.

There are lots more ideas when it comes to upcycling your furniture, and one of the best places to find these ideas is on Pinterest.

  • Buy a patterned wallpaper that will again make a bold statement against your current decoration and furnishings
