IT IS at this time we start thinking of all the im- provements that could and should be made. Short of a complete demolition job followed by re- building with all those little touches we dream of, what to do?


There is a whole lot you can do to transform what you have, with probably less outlay than you might imagine. For a start, look carefully at your home as a whole,

room by room, point by point.


Decide which room you intend to start on and try to observe it as if you never saw it before.


Do you, for example, make the best use of the room available, is there too much furniture of the wrong sort cluttering up the floor space?


If so, what is surplus to requirements? It could be that one multi-use unit would replace a lot of smaller items, and let's face it, there is a market for reasonably good, second-hand furniture, so you may be able to sell your surplus to help finance such a replacement. There is nothing quite like clear floor space to give the impression of overall roominess. Perhaps you feel you must decorate, well this is a good time to take a good look at the use and co-ordina- tion of colour. If again your room is on the small side, bold patterned wallpapers will not improve the impres- sion of size.

and the rest of the upholstery will take the eye gently from focal point to focal point, and this will go a long way toward creating the impression you wish to give of the room. You may of course have to give due regard to your ex- isting carpet when selecting colours and upholstery, es- pecially if you cannot see your way to a replacement. A good idea here is to get it professionally cleaned


first. You could be surprised how different your carpet will look after it has received attentions from the ex- perts. Forgotten colours could be revealed with which you could balance your new scheme.


If you have got to replace something, it will probably be the curtains.


If your windows are reasonably new and draught- proof you could be really revolutionary and discard cur- tains altogether. Roller blinds come in many colours and patterns and can look really sensational on their own.

They take up less room on the wall and can give a


smoother, slicker look to a room in general. They are also a lot less expensive than you might think. Blinds do have the added advantage of being sponge cleanable, so think about it.


If your windows are old and draughty then curtains are almost a must, and these should be lined. There are thermal linings available, so an enquiry at your local upholstery shop will help.


If your suite, three-piece or otherwise, is looking dingy you might wish to replace it, you can however have it covered. Loose covers or re-upholstery can trans- form a suite, and if it matches the curtains or blinds, your co-ordination will almost be complete. So there you have it, you can transform your home, making the best mostly of what you have.
