Is your living room feeling a bit bland and boring? That plain new build style can be great for space, but it often lacks character. This video is perfect for you! Let's tackle living room decor on a budget and show you how to add DIY wall coving for a touch of sophistication without breaking the bank. I will be using a handy coving kit to give my living room a finished look, tying in perfectly with that wood panelling project I started last year. Get ready to transform this space and add some character, but on a budget, of course!

Paint colour: Crown Antique Cream in a vinyl matt finish.
Coving: B&Q.ie

    Leave the ceiling white, coving looks great!
  • @Xiroi87
    A white ceiling will give you a more classic vibe, which goes well with your decoration style. I'd even leave the trim white, if you ask me.
  • @suelaitinen5540
    Leave your ceiling white. You do wonderful being a single woman. I was raised with six brothers so I learned a lot from my father, great father and brother.
  • @pnut671
    Leave both the ceiling and the coving white. Thatโ€™s what makes the ceilings feel higher โคPx
  • @JP-mv2dy
    Love white ceiling You did a great job on the Cove Can't believe how talented you are
  • @susand8979
    White ceiling is my vote! Keeps the room bright, especially when the winter comes. Love the new details! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ˜Šโค
  • @martinalenz5029
    Hey, it's Thursday evening, and I am relaxing after my sports lesson. So what is better than lying on the sofa watching a nice video of our dear Catherine?๐ŸŒฑ
  • @deborahbrown9208
    I would paint the ceiling the same as the walls, I think that would look great!
  • @MoonSpinners
    Iโ€™m with everyone elseโ€ฆkeep the ceiling white, it looks fab! Great job ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜
  • @katiesfitbit8443
    Keep the ceiling white. Look at the outside corners on the cabinets on either side of the fireplace. You may be able to use them as a guide for the outside corners on the fireplace.
  • @emerybob1
    Your coving and ceiling medallion look great. I agree with others that your ceiling would look best in white. Love the cat cameos. Laurie
  • @marilynmccormick8791
    The coving looks great!Definately leave the ceiling white๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ
  • @janegould7403
    Coving is next on the list for my home. I agree it just finishes a room. I am a traditionalist and would keep the coving white if skirting is white.x
  • @jackielucchesi6654
    Never had or heard of cupping.....The cats are adorable he's like get off of that sister.......hehehehe....Looks awesome.....
  • @marikalombard7289
    Looks fabulous โค. I would paint the ceiling and the light "rose molding" all white.
  • @tinekejoldersma
    Light ceilings go up, and any colour goes down. Your room will look smaller. If you paint the coving the same colour as the ceiling it will look bigger. You're such a crafty lady. And goodness, young cats ๐Ÿ˜‚
  • @Caroline-ix6hz
    It looks beautiful Catherine. I say leave the ceiling for a while and sit with it. You can always paint it later. I love what you have done in that room.โค๏ธ
  • @caroleearnshaw32149
    I feel your pain with the external corners on the chimney breast. I remember doing mine years ago and it hurt my brain so much and I wasted a lot of coving but YouTube came to my rescue eventuallyโ€ฆ.Iโ€™m a very visual person so I needed to see someone cutting them so it made sense to my brain ๐Ÿ˜‚. Youโ€™ve done a fantastic job as always Catherine. Living room looks so lovely xx
  • @janicefinch5157

  • @lora9664
    White ceiling . It will make your trim stand out. You can paint the rosette the wall color. It will be a great feature.
