Before you start a DIY Project - Think Aesthetic
When embarking on a DIY project, the first thing you want to do is jump in with a hammer and start making mess! But this usually means you will end up shopping for the elusive "money tree".
In other words, leaping before you have planned can be very costly!
There are many questions to be asked, and these can be grouped into four areas:
Practical, Budgetary, Aesthetic and Maintenance
Aesthetic
- Do you have items of furniture, artwork, carpets,
that have to worked around, or which could be
the basics of your scheme?
Save racking you brains for a place to start, think about what you already have around you that you love, and work from there. - Does the exterior of your
building, set the parameters for your interior?
You don't have to follow the exterior, especially if you are in an apartment complex, but if you have a Victorian Villa for example it is often nice to keep some of the detailing even if you are updating the interior.
