It doesn't take all that much work to redecorate a room or a whole home and the result will make you feel refreshed and happy. But first, look through some magazines to choose a theme for your room. A specific colour palette usually establishes the theme and you'll soon access this from those magazine experts. You might be drawn to contemporary, traditional, informal like the country cottage, or eastern decor.
Don't be afraid to change the use of a room. As the family grows or departs, needs change. What was once a toy room, nursery or rumpus room can become an office, library or music room. The foundation of decorating is usually repainting and it is important to do this properly. How disappointed you will be if after all your work the paint starts to peel or there are brush hairs stuck through it.
It's much wiser to buy quality paints and hardware for the task and see a beautiful job at the end. Some people find that rollers are too messy, with paint pads or speed painters getting the thumbs up.
If you are not changing the flooring, make sure it is well covered from paint splashes. Wear your oldest clothes or get some disposable overalls to save the work of washing.
