There are more benefits to updating a living room without buying anything new, besides saving money. It's partly about flexing our creative muscles and about being resourceful in looking for solutions and taking pride in finding them. Mostly, though, it's about making something unique and putting something of your distinct character into the space.
Designer Özge Öztürk agrees, and says 'This process of upgrading your space can become a journey of its own and you can be the author in it, as well as of it, by creating artworks and sculptures yourself that will add on to its story. You can have a walk and find branches or wild flowers to work with, and reuse the objects that you already have in your place, to create a room that is deeply personal.'
