| | Wall paint
Paint the walls in red emulsion. Take a two foot square of high density foam and cut in to an oriental design. Using green emulsion mixed with high gloss acrylic varnish, apply paint to the foam stamp and then press onto the wall at regular intervals. | | 
| | Lighting raft
Using 12mm thick MDF cut six 70mm holes in the centre of a sheet. Place halogen downlighters in the holes and get an electrician to connect, then screw a hook into each corner of the sheet. Attach to the ceiling of the room with chain. | | 
| | Ribbon Pictures
Stick 1½ inch black ribbon and confetti to a sheet of card to make it look like bamboo and petals. Then attach this to a simple black picture frame. | | 
| | Vases
Use one large square vase and four small square vases, which should be placed inside the large vase. Then fill it with coloured sand. Top this off with coloured pebbles and add Gerbers and bear grass to finish. | | 
| | Accessories
Finish the room with tealights, floating candles and Bonsai trees | | 
| | Wedding Chest
Find a second-hand tallboy in the shops. Attach a 60cm diameter circle to the front for handles. Paint the whole unit black and finish with a high gloss varnish. Paint the circle handles red and cover with gold leaf. | | 
| | Shutters
Make a framework from 2x1 wood to the size of 1 metre by 50 cm. Attach Jali fretwork to the centre. Then stick pleated turquoise silk material to the fretwork and hinge onto the window frame. | | |
