People who want to improve the appearance of their properties without spending a lot of money may want to try their hand at decorating, it has been suggested.
Those looking to complement a new set of
Roman blinds might be keen to note the views recently expressed by Built It Magazine's editor Duncan Hayes.
He commented: "Decorating is a way to make your mark and improve your home at a very affordable cost, with very apparent results."
Mr Hayes went on to say that more expensive home improvement measures such as chimney cleaning could have less apparent results than decorating.
However, the expert added that, in more general terms, people seem to have fewer DIY skills nowadays than previous generations did.
His remarks follow figures published by Tesco, which have shown that sales of products like paint and brushes have risen over the course of the last year.
