I decided to change my living room decor even though it had only been done a few months. I had plum & cream & I was never 100% happy with it, it always felt like it was missing something. After seeing the yellow/mustard & grey decor on diy on a budget I decided I would go for that colour scheme. My wallpaper was from The Range in black & silver, I already had the paint left over from the kitchen, and it’s a b&q brand called black pepper. For a cheap paint it has great coverage on a first coat. The day came to make a start so I painted the ceiling (worst job ever) but it looked much better, I used a cheap b&q white paint. Then I painted the woodwork in white eggshell, and then started on painting the walls, finishing with wallpapering which wasn't an easy paper to match. All wall art is from eBay, some I already had so sprayed/painted it to go with decor using white & grey I already had & bought a mustard tester pot & mustard Valspar spray. I already had the clock which was from b&q in black so I painted it mustard & wooden ornament on floor I bought 2nd hand & sprayed it mustard. Frame's were from pound land, I sprayed one in mustard & left two in white & one in black then put wallpaper samples & fabric samples in them. Chevron cushion covers from eBay, grey textured cushions from b&q, grey throws had for about 3 years can't remember where from, yellow fleece throw from asda. Floor lamp bought from very last year with different shade, ochre (mustard colour) table lamp from very, shade looked too big for it so put it on floor lamp & bought smaller cheap grey shade from b&q. Black wire lamp from eBay, sprayed shade mustard. Silver frame from the range. Chevron coasters from house of Fraser online in sale. All done on a budget thanks to this group & everyone's great ideas...xx
