You can create entire co-ordinated room schemes, such as a Scandinavian bedroom, Santa Fe living room or Art Nouveau-style hallway, or transform individual accessories. As well as stamping chairs, cupboards and storage drawers, you can even stamp soft furnishings such as blinds and cushions or outdoor items such as flower pots and garden planters.
