For many of us who love our homes the economic downturn has left us with less disposable income to spend on furnishing and accessorising our homes so here’s a tip to give your home a facelift without breaking the bank.
If you are hankering after that feature wallpaper to replace the drab painted walls but can’t afford it think about using an inexpensive cord - you can buy a decorative cord for around 75p a metre, the only other thing you need is some clear craft glue, a few panel pins and a hammer to apply the cord just under your coving or at the top of the wall. Start in the most unobtrusive corner, apply a little glue to the cord and hold to the wall, secure lightly with a panel pin (this will be removed later so need to knock it right in!) and continue round the room until you get back to where you started! Once the glue has set remove the panel pins. This is a traditional technique which was used way back when fabric was used to decorate walls.
If you have a bit more money to spare use a 2.5 - 5cm braid which will add a more defined finish.
