Planning a room makeover, step by step
Abeer
From a mood board to the final cushion: the order I follow for every room.
A makeover goes smoothly when you do things in the right order.
1. Decide how the room should feel
Write three words, such as calm, bright and welcoming, and test every choice against them.
2. Measure and plan the layout
Draw the room to scale before buying anything large.
3. Big pieces, then colour, then details
Choose the sofa or bed first, then paint and textiles, and finish with lamps, art and plants.
