| For those who prefer
to relax in front of the TV with a cup of coffee or pass time on a journey
– magazines and books are a great source of inspiration as well as
practical advice and tips.
There are many books and magazines around, so it's worth a trip to the
local newsagent to have a browse to find what's right for you.
If you do go for something that is more on the practical side, this will
probably be a good investment as the advice will last.
If it's trends or colour inspiration you're looking for, make sure before
you do a job to check what the potential impact could be on your home’s
perceived sale value.
Finally as a tip: it's easy to be inspired by a room shot
in a magazine or a book. To ensure you get the same effect in your own
home, spend time going through exactly the steps required, what material
you will need, and work out the total time and cost involved. Careful
planning can ensure success and avoid disappointment or frustration –
take care especially if you're aiming at a paint effect to check out what
is required.
Most are quite simple – see our section
in Decorative
World – but it's good to have precise
instructions.
