Eve, our gilded drinks trolley features in this article about decorating for less .

Before you start spending take a look around your home – what do you already own that you could reuse or repurpose? Paint is your best friend when it comes to decorating on a budget – a new colour on the walls will have a huge impact or, if you’re feeling more adventurous, why not have a go at upcycling a piece of furniture? If your goal is to create a high end look consider buying or commissioning a piece of professionally upcycled furniture. You can have a bespoke piece tailored to your interior for a fraction of the price of a designer item.
