1. Put your mantra on the wall. Give your bedroom a personal and cosy feeling by putting your favourite inspiring statement on your wall. Plan how big to make the letters and use a spirit level to keep them straight.

2. Tape a rag rug. Browse magazines for inspiration. Try rows of stripes or a zig-zag pattern. Decide how big you want your rug to be and go for it. Pick tape in a matching colour palette for a uniform and coordinated look.

3. Add some DIY panels. Tired of minimalistic white walls and bare cupboards? Make your dream panels. Grab a picture for inspiration and a spirit level to mark out your design. Use thinner tape as shading to add the illusion of depth.

4. Make a weekly calendar. A smart calendar grid is easy to update with sticky notes – just right for the kitchen or study wall. Decide how many people it will cover. Use a spirit level to get your tape straight and tape away!

5. Top up your art wall. Yes, washi tape is easy to remove. But it can actually be used as a more permanent decoration feature. Mixing your real frames with illusional frames creates a unique impression. Attach the image to the wall. Then tape your frame design around it.
