I, alongside several wonderful interior designers, was asked by for this month's , to give some hints and tips on how to upscale your furnishings without breaking the bank.

1. Felt rabbits on vintage fabric
2. Leftover velvet with border and herringbone stitching on an IKEA kallax bookshelf covered in fabric I cut wrong for a client job so needed to find a use for it
3. Very visible mending. The client wanted it to look this obvious
4. Vintage trim applied to curtain leading edges. This was supplied in three pieces, one of which wasn't long enough so we joined it carefully
5. Me! Chatting about not always having to buy new
