Ask the designer
A. Everyone faces redecorating at some time or another — and though a daunting prospect, the best advice is to think positive and get organised! Start by creating a design file for each of the rooms you intend to overhaul and stick in pictures or samples of anything that floats your boat. There are any number of glossy interior design magazines out there to help you decide — but you don’t have to spend a cent to be struck by a bolt of inspiration. Search the web, dig through your wardrobe or visit art galleries to get an idea of the styles, colours and textures you like. The important thing is not to get overwhelmed by the myriad of choices available to you — be brave and have fun.
