Tara gives a tired living room three different looks

Makeovers on a budget. - by Tara Dennis
  • 14 Aug 2020

Whether you’re a home owner or a renter, decorating and personalising your home is a lot harder than it looks. While you might have a few nice pieces of furniture, for some reason they never end up looking like they did in the catalogue or like the homes in fancy magazines. And, as Tara’s about to prove, that’s because it’s all in the styling!

She’s taking a few key pieces that most people have – a sofa, dining table and chairs – and using them as the basis for three very differently styled spaces. From eclectic and earthy to relaxed and neutral, plus a classic Hamptons-inspired look, Tara’s showing you how to style like a professional without spending a tonne of money.

For more inspiration, head to Early Settler.
