Transform any room by updating just one part of it, as @gigibrown77 suggests a unique take on the feature wall with a feature corner.

2. Hide cords without making holes in the wall

Wall mounting a TV is a great way to make your room feel bigger. The only problem is it leaves you with unsightly hanging wires or a big project where you have to cut holes in your walls.
But you can use this tip from @hammsmom and keep your wires hidden with a cable wall cover. You can also paint it the same as your wall to blend it in.
3. Build a DIY plant wall for just £15

#plantwall has over 16.9 million views on TikTok - it’s a popular trend that seems to be sticking around. They’re also easy to do. Just follow @_forthehome to see an amazing example.
You can find hanging plant pots online that simply screw into the wall. These are slightly more affordable if you’re looking for a cheaper option. The pots are also self-watering so when you fill them up, they will give your plant the water they need, when they need it, to avoid overwatering.

Under cupboard lighting in your kitchen looks great, but it’s costly and will need to be installed by a qualified electrician. But using this tip from @livlovery can let you add lights in a matter of minutes. Just pick up some wireless LED lights for no-fuss installation and manage using a remote control.
If you have a smart home and would rather control your lights through Google or Alexa, an LED strip light is also available for just a few pounds more.

If your bathroom is looking a little worse for wear, just follow this hack from @sharee.designs to give them a refresh. A quick clean and a coat of paint can make them look as good as new - or even better.
