Lets spring forward with a mini home makeover!

You may not have the budget for a full spring home renovation but you can probably afford a ‘lick of paint that’s basically the same thing. It really is amazing the difference a coat of paint can make to tired decor!

There are so many interesting paint brands out there now, but don’t forget you can have a specific mixed at your local DIY store at a fraction of their cost.

Simply tips for painting? Prepare your space by using dust sheets and masking tape to all edges. Remove door furniture and light/electrical sockets. Make sure your brushes and rollers are the right size for the job and clean them well after use. For big, empty spaces, consider using a spray gun and have some fun but do ensure you are fully covered and wearing a mask. Prepare rough surfaces for painting by filling and sanding. Finally, do test patch your paint colour on your chosen surface to ensure you actually love it! Oh, and make sure you choose the right kind of paint for the surface you are painting!
