Restore an Old Dining Table
There’s no easier way to update a tired dining table than to cover it with a bright and cheerful oilcloth. It’s also a practical and easy-to-clean option for busy families, whether you’re using the table for dinner or homework time.Take a piece of oilcloth and cut it to the size of your tabletop, leaving a few centimeters of overhang on each side. Use a staple gun to attach the oilcloth under the table edges, pulling it taut as you go.
Needed: Oil cloth, paint or varnish.
Paint an accent wall
For a low-cost, high-impact update, grab a tin of paint in a striking colour and turn a plain wall into a show-stopping, statement wall that’ll never be overlooked again. Use painter’s tape to keep your ceilings and doors smudge free.
Needed: Paint from our paint department
Needed: key hooks, flat piece of board
