DIY Inspiration made easy!

Sunday mornings were made for relaxing, and planning your next DIY project. If you’re feeling a little stuck for inspiration, don’t worry, we’ve all been there. 

We’ve compiled five of our most recent blogs to get you ahead in your next project!

paint-direct-playroom

Create a room they'll want to play in!

Summer is almost over, but the kids will still come home from school at 3.30 wanting somewhere to play, especially on days when it’s too rainy to play outside.

Having a room or space dedicated for children to play in has numerous benefits for both them, and you.

As well as confining toys and the mess and destruction that goes with them to one space, children also have their very own space to play in independent and creative ways, which has positive effects on children’s brains and their ability to learn.

Tap here to explore how you can create a space that’ll let their imagination run free, and energy run out!

 

kerb-appeal

Give your home kerb appeal with Sandtex

They say never to judge a book by its cover, but if you’ve ever driven past a greying house that was once white, you can’t help but think of what that house could be with a fresh coat of paint.

If that house in question is yours, it’s time to buy some masonry paint and get to work!

If you’re wondering when the best time to paint your home is, the time is now! Rainfall is few and far between and the temperature is a comfortable temperature to work in and allow for the paint to dry.

skirting-boards

Bring your skirting boards to life with Farrow and Ball

Traditionally coated white gloss or satin, skirting boards are an understated element that with a little imagination can breathe colour into spaces where it was previously thought impossible.

With the average home in Britain getting smaller, people are opting to paint their homes lighter and brighter tones to help make rooms appear larger. Whilst this often does the trick and emphasises the space available, it adds very little in the way of personalising your home

hybrid-home

Hybrid Home with Earthborn

During the pandemic, all who could work from home did, and thus spare bedrooms, nooks under the stairs and landings became makeshift offices.

With almost a quarter of all UK workers still working from home in a hybrid approach, and look to be in the future, it’s time to invest in your workspace and create an environment that is conducive to both happiness and productivity.

bedroom-tired

Is your bedroom tired?

Lastly, whilst you’re relaxing in bed, and you spot that little patch of paint that needs to be touched up, take a look around. It’s likely your entire bedroom is a little tired!

Read this blog to find out how you can awaken your bedroom and restore it to a place for rest, solace and more.
