Decorating
The idea of dusting of the rollers and the paint trays and embarking on an interior decorating project is one that puts fear in the hearts of many. However, that’s exactly what we want you to do! Interior decorating is all about colour – so how about starting with the basics by painting a feature wall? Red can bring warmth and intimacy to any living room, while grey can help to make a room feel calm and serene. Or, if you fancy something a little more challenging, why not try your hand at some DIY furniture upcycling or add some stylish tiles to your kitchen or bathroom. The world, and your home, is your oyster!
