Should You Hire a Decorator?
“How hard can it be, right?” is the phrase which launched a million ill-advised DIY projects. While doing it yourself can save money and give you that warm self-satisfied feeling, for total novices, it’s often better to accept that painting and decorating isn’t in your skill set and leave it to the professionals. This helpful blog from Decorwise will help you decide whether or not it’s time to hire in a professional decorator, or, in fact, go it alone.
