We’ve all been there…

You started off with the best of intentions, but somehow the spare room has turned into a veritable dumping ground.

All that laundry that hasn’t found its way back to the wardrobe yet, the cross trainer that seemed like such a good idea at the time and all the other clutter you can’t bear the thought of potential house guests catching sight of when they visit your humble abode.

No judgement. Out of sight, out of mind, right?

But if your spare room has turned into the room of shame, check out our top tips and give it the overhaul it deserves.

Before you know it, you’ll have sorted through the mountain of laundry AND bagged yourself a cool new dressing room too.

Dreaming of an uber-chic home office? A fresh lick of paint, some eye-catching wall art and a super-organised new desk will set you on the right track. Add a stylish sofa bed into the mix and your new office can still double as a guest bedroom for those unexpected visits from friends and family.
