Easy DIY luxury Home Decor

10th April 2018

DIY home decor

If you follow me on Instagram which I’m hoping you do, you will see I’m always active on Instagram stories and I post lots of different things but lately I have been doing some DIY and re vamping some of my bits around the house. (check out my lifestyle highlight icon  where you can watch me making this)

And today’s post I thought I would share with you how I’ve made affordable items look more luxurious. I have turned my £3.25 IKEA stool and made it look more expensive looking and stylish, if I do say so myself, and I absolutely love it!!!

DIY gold fluffy stool

I already had the Marius stool from IKEA which is this one here  it’s  just a basic metal and plastic stool, I sprayed the legs gold using this spray paint, it’s my favourite and is the nicest looking gold I have found, and I’ve literally used it to spray everything gold so everything matches.

So you can use any sort of fabric or cushion you personally want, I wanted sheepskin to match my other chair and rugs so I ordered myself a white sheepskin cushion with a zip back, I definitely  recommend getting one with the zip in the middle or slightly off centre  rather than on the side as it’s much easier to put the base of the stool inside, I then cut the holes where the screws need to go and screw it back on to the legs, you then have yourself  a padded cushion stool.

I really love how it’s turned out, I know when I tried to look online for sheepskin chairs and stools they were so expensive and I couldn’t justify paying £100-300, I think for all of the materials I purchased I spent under £50, the cushion cost the most, but like I said you can buy different style cushions and fabric.

Next up Is this bow chair I have recently got and revamped a little, it has a plain white fake leather material seat, and I knew I wanted to do the same with this and add the fur, I also re sprayed it as the gold colour it was before was a little bit green toned for me so I wanted to make everything match. I did this with the same technique as the IKEA one and added the leather seat base into the round pillow case and cut where it needed to be screwed on, I just feel like it looks so luxurious and I love the bow detailed back as well, It’s so unusual. If you also love this chair you can buy it here although it has gone up in price for some reason from when I purchased it.

Obviously I have gone with gold and fur but you can literally do whatever colour and design you want depending on your style. It is amazing what you can do with just spray painting a few things, I love doing bits in brass and copper, anything brass I just think looks so gorgeous and chic. I’ve been spraying plant pots and little decor bits and bobs as well, that you can see from the picture below. I sprayed the pot and decor camera.

I hope you found this post helpful and decide to make your own, tag me or let me know if you do. I will have my office tour post up soon as well if you like these type of interior posts.

Thanks for reading xo

    I loveeeeee this chair! It was so interesting to see that you had done a little DIY. You’d think this chair cost you a lot more than all of the materials you paid for and the chair itself. Good on you! It looks so expensive and i’d love to have a chair like this at my desk xx

My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmati My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmatian print wrapping paper 😭 this could have been my present alone and I would have been thrilled! Love how it goes with my Dalmatian baubles 🤩 he knows me so well 🎁 🖤and it’s completely recyclable 👌🏼♻️
Just the presents to put under the tree, the annua Just the presents to put under the tree, the annual Christmas Eve clean up, set up the Christmas Day table and get myself sorted and pampered and we are all ready!! Can’t wait to just chill for a few days as Christmas always goes so quick doesn’t it. I Hope you all have a lovely Christmas whatever it is you will be doing 🎄 🎅🏻🤶🏻 🎁 🍾🥂 here’s some pictures of my tree with the lights on, it’s weird as these lights I got from the range look different each time I turn them on 🙈 I think I prefer my old ones from last year to be honest👀
I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads fo I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads for a while now as we wanted something new for the new additions we have. I got Elliott’s old ones from America and I just hadn’t seen anything I really loved until I came across @popandtedthreads and I fell in love with their whole range, especially the made to order personalised ones where you can pick your own fabric, trim and hardware colours.  Of course I just had to have this monochrome Dalmatian print fabric😍🤩 I can’t believe they’re completely hand made, I’m so impressed with the quality and finish.  You can tell a lot of hard work and love goes into these so thank you @popandtedthreads my little pups are going to love their new stuff for Christmas and will look so cute!! Thought I would share incase anyone else was looking for really unique dog accessories 🖤
I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath this year and add some bits to it but I just haven’t had the time, not even put up half of my Christmas decorations that I wanted to. 😭 So I just added some more snow and glitter to this and have made do 🙈 honesty where has this year and month gone...it’s flown by and I’m not ready for Christmas in the slightest, got to finish my shopping tomorrow and wrap everything, do the food shop and have a good clean up in the house! Oh take me back to being a kid and being excited for Christmas ha ha! 🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄
Another job ticked off the list and one step close Another job ticked off the list and one step closer to finally finishing everything in the kitchen yay. 😊 I really wanted an antique mirror cooker splash back, it’s the reason I didn’t go for tiles in here and went for up-stands instead as I didn’t want it looking OTT and I definitely think less is more in the kitchen. This white antique glass was specially made and took about 6-8 weeks but I love it. 🤩You can really see the antique detailing up close (swipe for pic) although we have had some slight issues with the measurements on the boxing in area around the island which we also wanted in glass. A little disappointing, so that’s got to be sorted out but I’m hoping it will be done before Christmas 🤞🏻
I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feel I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feels so cosy 🎄✨I’m surprised I’ve got any chocolates and sweets left on my tables though, because my niece keeps trying to eat them all when she comes over 😂
Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pret Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pretty much showed it on my Instagram stories🙊swipe for lots more up close pics....it’s a bit of a weird one this year, as I’m not feeling Christmassy in the slightest yet, this tree and all the decorations were supposed to be for the new kitchen but that plan has gone out the window thanks to the two new puppies that have taken over my kitchen. So I’ve used all these bits for the living room instead. Sorry for my lack of posts,  I’ve got a hell of a lot going on and I’m still not 100% myself. Details below •Christmas tree 🎄 -  is the snowy alpine 6ft from @christmastreeworld and I am obsessed! It’s so gorgeous and full looking! •All the flowers and sprays - from @tonyalmondonline ( my best find this year for amazing affordable decorations) •other decorations from @therangeuk and my local garden centres @longacresbagshot & @oaktreegardencentre •made the Dalmatian baubles myself it was so easy •stocking holders @homesense_ukie and the fluffy stockings are from @ebay_uk
Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about this when I posted it on my stories over the weekend🙈 I literally just wanted something to store all my hair styling tools so they didn’t look all messy and tangled. I ended up on eBay and found and ordered these wall mounted holders...I didn’t even know they did special dyson hairdryer holders but I had to have one! I sprayed mine gold (obviously) because I didn’t want them black or silver and attached them to the side of my Ikea Alex unit and I’m so pleased with how it looks ☺️ These GHDs are also yearsssss old but some how still work perfectly and I can’t part with them because they’re a gorgeous gold! 😭
Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve always wanted a proper dressing area, somewhere I can get ready and have all my clothes and accessories to hand. Before I was going in 2/3 rooms just to find bits, as I had it all scattered around 🙈 So pleased I went with the ikea corner pax wardrobe and got very excited over the pull out tray for my jewellery and accessories. (It’s the little things)...I don’t need no fancy pretty hammonds wardrobe....Ikea will do me nicely 😂 My bags won’t be staying like this either as I need to get another shelf next time I go to Ikea. I originally thought I needed more rail space but turns out I don’t, I think I just liked the idea of these pull out rails 🤨
I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you watch my stories you would have seen) So I now have the bigger spare bedroom for my beauty and dressing area yay! And I’m so pleased with it. 😍 I’ve got so much more room now and I had a good sort out and declutter while I was at it, and no more buying makeup I don’t need✋🏻 the Dalmatian spots won’t be going back on the wall but I’ve got use for them somewhere else 👀 I love Dalmatian print but I thought with my new Dalmatian rug it was a little over kill 😂
Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next fo Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next for the living room...didn’t like how they looked in here for some reason, as preferred my other ones🙈 so these are now on the sofa in John’s gaming room 😂 I’m wondering if he will notice that my dalmatian print obsession will slowly be taking over in that room too 👀🙊
I love me some gold and spotty print office statio I love me some gold and spotty print office stationery!! America have the best stuff, which I’m sorry to say is where most of this is from but I often see gorgeous bits in tkmaxx and Homesense. Now my desk is all clean and tidy I must get back to actually blogging and doing some work 👀✍🏻👩🏼‍💻
Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pamp Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pampas before. 😍 Absolutely love @foxglove.studio / @foxglove.studiothekiosk for their amazing selection of dried flowers and the service is always brilliant. These are like a grey/ silver tone and are absolutely beautiful and so fluffy. I’m hoping their  website is up and running soon so I can browse and buy lots more 👀🤞🏻plus so many people keep asking me where all my dried flowers are from 🌾🌾
So happy I got these over the sofa side tables. I’ve had my eye on these for a while now and found them in my local tk maxx and they weren’t damaged for a change so I had to get them. They make the perfect side tables when you don’t have much room. 🖤
