Paint
Even the most simple home improvement projects will require you to think about paint. You might need to find out how to paint your house (including the exterior walls, windows and doors), or perhaps you are only painting a room and don't know where to start.
We are on hand to help. Not just with a selection of step-by-step guides, but we will also equip you with plenty of inspiration as we explain how to choose the right colours for every room and then assist you in picking the right paint type and paintbrushes or rollers for the job.
