Home decoration and DIY is something that some people have a real interest in and are able to become quite skilled at. Although these two things are linked they are very different from each other and people will usually have a real skill for one and not the other. Decorating requires an eye for style and design whereas DIY is a much more hands on job that requires skill, technique and patience.
Decorating a home does not really have a defined right or wrong because at the end of the day it is down to the person who lives in the home to decide what suits them. However many people can define something as stylish and will appreciate something that is well put together as opposed to a miss match of personal touches. Being able to see colours and imagine them together in interesting ways is a skill that only some people have. Being able to envision an end product and know exactly how you will carry it out to get there is not an easy task.
Do it yourself jobs are followed through more carefully to instructions and have a much more definite sense of right and wrong. If something is not made correctly or the first step is input wrongly then the more you carry on with a project, the more the mistakes will become more and more apparent. If something does not fit correctly then you would have to keep going back and checking through each stage carried out. This could be fitting a door frame or moulding, putting up a shelf, putting up a fence etc.
With home decoration you will rarely need tools, only at the beginning stages once deciding to paint and wallpaper walls. You will of course need some paint brushes, wallpaper paste and a pasting table. Once this stage is out of the way the job becomes more about the accessories and finishing touches which will require no physical work. DIY requires a box full of tools including screwdrivers, hammers, spirit level and many more. You should ensure you have all you need before starting a project. There is nothing worse than getting into the swing of things to only find out you are missing something important and vital to completion. No matter which of the two of these, or perhaps both, you are interested in, keep carrying them out on your own home and experimenting to progress your skill.
