Dreaming of a beautifully decorated home, but never been taught the practical skills to execute your plans? Laura Deller of @houseprojectuk teaches you everything you need to know in this handy step-by-step guide, for house projects big and small, in any space.
Say goodbye to DIY disasters and hello to a relaxing home that reflects your personal style and your amazing new skills.
With Lauraβs expert, easy-to-follow instructions, youβll learn how to finally hang those frames with confidence, pick the perfect kid-friendly paint, and impress visitors with your DIY shelves.
The projects are super budget-friendly and doable, covering everything from upcycling to flat-pack hacks. Learn how to apply caulk, fill holes in the wall, sand a surface and wallpaper around a socket. Lauraβs projects include no-fuss bookshelves, different styles of panelling, and a simple but gorgeous no-sew bench cushion.
Large DIY stores can be overwhelming with their endless aisles and jargon-laden signage, but Laura reimagines tools as a βcapsule collectionβ, with key staples and nice-but-not-necessary additions. Each project features a Toolbox so you can easily identify which tools are needed for each project.
Every activity also comes with a time estimate, from quick tweaks to a weekend-long renovation, so you can fit everything in and make each project a success.
Lauraβs genius tips are accompanied throughout by gorgeous, helpful illustrations. With her know-how in hand, youβll feel calm, secure and empowered to pick up your toolkit and know exactly what youβre doing!
