The emphasis is on very much on surface changes that will make an immediate impact and like McKevitt's television makeovers, the book is wildly inventive and extremely colour-focused. Style tips include painting the floor to distinguish between living and eating areas, stencilling ceilings and cutting out and sticking down bright daisy designs. Wackier ideas include rejuvinating a basic chipboard bookcase with fake fur, plywood horns and lasso handles, creating a cheap light fitting from recycled bottles and a bike wheel and sticking purple chairs to the wall.
On a practical level all the ideas are explained in an easy-to-follow step-by-step way; for example, a mosaic bathroom is created in seven stages. Top tips such as using a damp sponge instead of a spatula to apply grout are extremely useful and at least make a good result more likely, if not certain, as some of the projects are somewhat ambitious.
This is not a book for the faint-hearted minimalist. In the introduction to Style on a Shoestring you are encouraged to "leave all your previous thoughts about decorating outside in the cold". Magnolia lovers beware: this is no understatement. --Karen Homer
