Instant Impact [antikvár]

INTRODUCTION A change has come over decorating in the last few years. It's partly Ijecause more and more of us are 'doing it ourselves', so we want simplei- techniques, more shortcuts and faster results. But it's also because new looks are coming aroimd so fast that our old ones seem to be out of fashion almost before we've got used to them. Either way, the prevailing mood is for decorating ideas that make an instant impression - that give the room a completely new image without calling in a whole team of builders, plasterers and interior designers. .\nd that's what Instant Impact is all about - to let you be your own interior designer. A compilation of inspiring ideas and practical projects, this book shows you how to transform walls, floors, windows and fimiishings - all in less than a weekend. Instant Impact means keeping it easy, so you don't need any specialist skills.

The tools and materials needed for each one are clearly listed, and practical tips and additional design ideas are also given. If you want to test the water before launching into a com[jletc bathroom or kitchen makeover, then begin by trying out one of the smaller projects.
