If you’re an avid DIY-er, then it’s quite likely that you’ll always be on the lookout for new and exciting ways to keep your home looking up to date and on-trend – from finding wacky wallpaper prints, to buying stylish and contemporary furniture sets.
But, any DIY fan will also know that attempting to transform every room in the home can both be considerably time consuming, as well as get pretty pricey too.
So, instead of focusing your DIY skills on redecorating the entirely of one room, why not try and hone in on changing specific areas, features or single items?
