Bungalow 99

2. In a room with a beige palette, feel free to add one or two strikingly colourful elements for a bit of variety, either on the wall or on the floor,

2. Ensure good ventilationGood ventilation is an excellent way to keep humidity and dampness at bay.Make it a habit to open your windows every day so that there is cross ventilation and good air circulation. Open windows allow indoor moisture to escape outdoors before it condenses.Keep furniture at least 2 inches from the wall so that air can circulate freely.

3. Consider repurposing itSometimes, just reupholstering furniture isn’t enough … what will you do with the piece looking all new and fresh when you honestly have no real use for it in the first place? In a case like this, you could choose to repurpose it – ask your carpenter to break it down and use its parts to make different items. Say, for instance, you have a teakwood console – it can be broken down and the wood from that can be used to make small side tables, a chair or a wooden mural.Here’s how to repurpose old items at home
