Channel 4 and British Gas have recorded a mini series with Phil Spencer aimed at people who are buying a new house or have recently moved. Each episode is only around 7 minutes long, meaning they can be watched during lunch breaks during a commute. Phil advises recently-moved couples and individuals on all aspects of buying a house from arranging a removals van to personalising flat pack furniture.
Watching the series has given me a few ideas of what we can do to maximise our space and some interior quick-fixes we can fit in around our already busy weekends. Like most people who have just moved, we are on a budget and the series keeps this fact in mind throughout. Many home programmes presume the public have loads of money to splash on new furniture and DIY materials but I found this series much more minfuld of realistic budgets.
In this episode, Phil Spencer helps a couple turn their first house into a cosy space with minium effort and cost.
I LOVE the reupholstered chair. I'm going to look in some charity shops for a couple chairs and buy some fabric that is in keeping with our front room decor.
