If you get to the end of the summer period and think that maybe the autumn and winter months could be usefully employed for the purposes of upgrading the house or apartment, there are so many ways of achieving the dream pad.  The diy megastores are absolutely full to bursting point with catalogues, leaflets, paint charts and sets of modular furniture, all to be viewed as tempting and worth a shot.  When the fabulous arrays are spied and pored over in the glossy magazines, that old kitchen can seem very dated and seriously past its sell-by date.  There are so many new trends coming on stream, new colourways and ides for soft furnishings, it can be bewildering to say the least.

The most cost effective way to upgrade is to engage an interior design studio as their expertise will produce a first class job and the saving in time and expensive mistakes will be worth the fee by miles.
