  This guide to storage is part of a series of decorating books designed to provide basic guides to different aspects of decorating and simple DIY for busy people. Each of the books in the series covers a specific subject area. The subject opens with a guide to the choices available; if for example, a bedroom wall is going to be painted, the many different types of paint you can buy, and the ones most suitable for looks and practicality can be discovered. The basic tools required are described so that unnecessary and expensive purchases can be avoided, followed by the basic techniques. The book starts with the simplest and quickest approach which a first-time decorator should be able to cope with and then moves onto a more complex technique for a decorator with more time available for a more elaborate finish. Step-by-step instructions are accompanied by photographs, diagrams and at-a-glance charts to help when calculating paint or fabric quantities, for example, or working out drill sizes. There are also tips to help save time and money, and advice on safety to reassure the nervous first-time decorators.
