Colours
Paint the walls warm yellow, rich brown and strawberry red. Contrast this with frosted green painted wooden furniture. |
|
|
|
Bed
Adapt your existing bed frame by adding some MDF. Stain this a dark oak colour. |
|
|
|
Headboard
Create a funky tall headboard from MDF and Perspex. Cut circles into the Perspex and fit lights into the headboard. Take the feed from an existing wall light, to shine through the holes. |
|
|
|
TV unit
Make a unit on castors from MDF to house the TV and video. Use flexible MDF to create an arched top. |
|
|
|
Shoe rack
Construct a simple shoe rack from MDF with slanted shelves to catch the heels. Attach this firmly to the wall. |
|
|
|
Shelf
Make a curved shelf with a flexi MDF surround to match the TV unit. Paint this in a frosted green colour. |
|
|
|
Lighting
Create a light fitting from a circle of MDF, a batten lamp holder, some polypropylene and an opaque gel. This will make an inexpensive and unusual feature. |
