Picture this…you are stood at your kitchen window looking out on the beautiful flowers in your garden. The sun is beaming through your window (a rare occasion in England I know), casting a wonderful array of light upon your kitchen.

The only problem with this wonderful image is that the sun is shining upon the patchy paintwork and worn down vinyl. In the winter months the dark nights and dull days seem to mask the paintwork that is in serious need of revival, but summer is upon us and it is time to give the house a makeover.

Luckily, Cambridge has an abundance of businesses that can help you on your way to a beautiful house.

First things first, you need to decide what part of the house you want to decorate. Does your house simply need a fresh lick of paint or are you looking to redesign a room altogether? Cambridge has the resources to help you achieve the end product you are striving for.

If you enjoy painting and decorating then you will be looking forward to getting your overalls on and getting stuck in. However there are many people who put off decorating because they can’t bear the thought of standing for ages painting a wall (a little bit like watching paint dry some would say). Why not hire a painter and decorator? In doing so, you will end up with a professional finish without lifting a finger. You will find various painters and decorators to choose from in the Cambridge area, why not check out S Donald Painters and Decorators, Steve the Decorator, or Lofts and Griffiths. All promise professional and affordable services, what more could you ask for?

Now that you have the walls covered, perhaps it is time to think about flooring. If you need to replace a carpet, you will be looking for a provider that can offer a large selection of good quality carpets. Cambridge is home to both The Carpet Mill and Chesterton Carpets, so you are sure to find the perfect flooring for your taste and budget.

The heart of the house is often the kitchen; this normally means it is the room that suffers the most wear and tear. You could opt to give your current kitchen a face lift, perhaps repaint the cupboards or replace a work surface or flooring, or you could choose to treat yourself to a new kitchen. Design Matters is a kitchen design company that designs bespoke kitchens that promise to meet your every desire. Not only do they provide bespoke furniture, but they are able to supply customers with appliances to go with their brand new kitchen.

Now you have freshly decorated walls and a kitchen to die for, you can sit back and admire your work of art.
