Transform your living spaces with a feature wall

I'm presuming most of us if not all of us have been given some new personal belongings for Christmas recently and if you are anything like myself - I don't like clutter. If I bring anything new into my small Clapham, London flat it means I'll have to get rid of some older stuff to make space. This morning I did just that. A total declutter, tidy up of my bedroom and in doing so I felt much more in control and stress free...however in turn it exposed how bare my room was. I decided today was the perfect day to construct a feature wall, hopefully transforming my bedroom into somewhere a little more comfortable. So here is what I created...

BEFORE

STEP BY STEP GUIDE

1. Go online to desenio.co.uk and check out all of the sizes of frames possible for when you are designing your feature wall.

2. Measure the usable space for your feature wall and note down the height and width of the area.

3. Get a piece of plain A4 paper and design your feature wall. What I did was printed out the posters to scale from images the Desenio's website and moved them around the paper to create my perfect feature wall design.

4. Commit to your design and buy to posters & frames. I would recommend getting an extra couple of smaller sizes, as they may come in handy to fill in any gaps if your measurements weren't spot on!

5. Once you have received everything through the post, put the posters into the frames you picked. Then place each picture on your bed in the exact placement according to your design. Here is where you can move things around if it doesn't quite work.

6. Go grab some nails, a hammer and a spirit-level and put some basic DIY skills to the test. Time to assemble your feature wall to transform your living space.

7. Stand back and admire your creation!
