Decorating a new home or apartment can be a great deal of fun. It is also a great way to make your space more personal. Whether you are decorating your bedroom, your living room, or even a new nursery, there are some basic tools that you will need for your home improvement projects. Here are a few items that should be in every decorator’s toolbox.
A hammer and nails are absolutely essential for decorating. Whether you are hanging photos, putting up a shelf, or installing a coat rack, you will find that these items are critical.
A screwdriver is another essential item. You should have both flat and Phillip’s head models, and a screwdriver with changeable bits can be a great item. Screwdrivers are a major part of decorating and are used for hanging curtain rods, assembling furniture, and much more. Screwdriver sets can be bought very cheaply from any hardware store.
Photo hooks and wire are also great items to keep in your tool kit. These tools can make it easy to hang not only photographs, but posters, paintings, and even decorative items for perfectly level display within any room.
Another tool that no decorating project can do without is a level. Whether you are putting up posters, hanging a shelf, or putting photos on the wall, you want them to be even. With a level, you can make sure that everything is perfectly straight.
The last tool you need in your decorating arsenal is a stud finder. Hanging heavy items on just the drywall is a recipe for disaster and injury, and a stud finder can help you find the wall studs that can hold nails and keep your heavy items where they belong.
