    When I am in a room I tend not to brush against the walls, especially if I know that by doing so I will get dusty.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Cheapest solution? Large vase of beautiful flowers, clothes brush and a jokey warning sign. Job done.

    I'm not having a good time here you know. :D My stress levels are immeasureable and off the scale at the moment.

    Cotton twill dust sheets cut in half and tacked to bottom half of wall, Tesco red wrapping paper on top half of wall. Huge brown velvet curtains (came from an old Edinburgh house with high ceilings etc so are very big) on floor as rugs. Blow up Aerobeds against walls so pillows dont fall off. (Another reason why walls needed covered, it's not just about brushing against them whilst you walk past.) Festive B&Q discounted fibre optic tree in corner. :D

    Hardly the stuff designer dreams are made of but for an urgent situation I think it's surprisingly fine and much more liveable with than bare dusty plasterboard. I'll refrain from posting pics if you dont mind, I'm not sure I'm in the right frame of mind at the moment to provide the entertainment. ;)

    Thank you to all who took the time to reply. :T
