Bedroom romance
Why not move on from those teenage pinks and get a more romantic look with rich raspberry and indulgent overtones of chocolate and cream. Sink into satin and surround yourself with soft velvets to ensure every day feels like Valentine's Day!
But don't take complete leave of your senses when creating the look - you don't want to break the bank on the way. Luckily all it takes is a little imagination and some help from International paint
Doing up your bedroom on a budget is a case of making the most of what you've got. First of all you've got to strip back to basics. Go back to the bones of your room and start again. From the floor up, you'll find there's something to work with. Just as make-up accentuates your good points and disguises the bad, so International has a specialist paint that does the same. From the floor to the radiator, the bed to the dressing table, it can all be given a new lease of life with the right coat of paint.
Create a fabulous floor as the foundation for the rest of your room. A creamy glossy specialist paint will achieve amazing results in lifting the appearance of the rest of your room. Light will bounce back from the surface and make a brighter, fresher look to the whole. Quick Drying Floor Paint from International is ideal for the job. It will go on new or painted floorboards, or even old vinyl. It's the best foundation for flawless floors!
Choose furniture with design detailing and strong style. Dark or damaged wood can often be found at basement prices. With a quick change of handles and a coat of luxurious looking paint, you'll find it's easy to fit out your entire bedroom with glamorous accessories which look the part but won't part you from too much money!
Don't leave your radiators left out in the cold. With the rest of your room now looking the height of luxurious living, it's a shame for the radiator to let the side down!
Luckily, even the most boring old rads can be radically updated, with help from Quick Drying Radiator Aerosol in Chrome.
Any bed can be made elegant with the addition of a bedhead. Although expensive new, you can often find older ones in second hand furniture shops. We paired up a graceful bedside cabinet with a simple wooden bed head into a matching set.
For the final crafty touch, why not make your own bedside decorations. It's much more personal when you do it yourself. While you're staying in and saving up for the special romantic outfit, you can spend your time putting the finishing touches to your romantic boudoir, with help from Japlac.
