Before you ‘Gram
Instagram is a great source of ideas for home improvements, from quick fixes to major projects, but don’t let it be your sole source of inspiration also look in magazines, blogs (like this one!) or just out and about in the real world before making a decision about the decor for your latest project. It’s also important to get an expert opinion, as that’s the only way you can be sure that your ambitious plans would actually translate into a habitable space.
