2 Steps to heaven

Tea lights in lace-covered jars transform pastel-painted risers along a staircase. The scraps of vintage linen cast pretty shadows on the wall.

5 Bold mix

Marcie K’s vintage lampshade hack is re-covered in opulent chintz, with added trim and fringing. A simple wooden lampstand in a dark wood lets the shade take centre stage.

6 Heavy metal

These industrial lights were created from salvaged Peugeot wheel rims. The utilitarian chic is echoed in chipped metal chairs around the table and an old meat mincer.

7 Beyond the pale
