As any girl (or boy) knows style has absolutely nothing to do with money, so limited funds needn’t mean limited ideas. To me its all about reinventing your space and giving it a jolt of personality that turns it from faded to fabulous and all without breaking the bank.
Something that adds instant personality is filling your pad with books and magazines, they provide no better story of you. They bring walls, floors and shelves alive creating an totally informal makeshift library.

Piles of books and magazines stashed in alcove shelves add a colourful layer of interest.

Books and magazines arranged beautifully in orderly stacks according to size and colour also provide great plinths for displaying treasured keepsakes.

Records add an eclectic touch and enliven this nook – its all about visual juxtaposition. Its personal, artistic and anything but static.
I love books and records for adding personality, but in some homes it just looks like clutter. I think the type of books adds to the artiness of it. 100 Mills and Boons isn’t going to look as effective as artist biographies! Wendy xxx
love your blog and your shop! and I agree anything with character like books, photos… make a place so much more interesting!
What great ideas! I was just thinking I had to get rid of all my books and magazines but now I’ll simply personalize my apartment with those very things. Thank you.
