Which areas of your home need decorating? Do you have a colour scheme in mind? It\u2019s worth thinking carefully about what your project will involve so you know which costs you need to calculate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Set a budget<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After you\u2019ve worked out the specifics of your project, you should think about how much money you have to spend on it. You budget should be realistic so you don\u2019t run into cost problems halfway through the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Costs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Decorating costs can vary significantly depending on the work you want done. You should make sure that you get several quotes so you get an accurate idea of how much your project will cost. But in the meantime, here\u2019s a decorating price guide to give you a general idea:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Type of decorating work<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Painter and Decorator Cost (Approx.)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Interior painting Cost<\/td><td>\u00a3150-\u00a3350 (for the walls and ceiling of an average room)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wallpapering Cost<\/td><td>\u00a31.50-\u00a36 per square metre (not including hanging)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Exterior wood painting and decorating Cost<\/td><td>\u00a37-\u00a335 per litre (not including labour)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Exterior property painting Cost<\/td><td>\u00a3800-\u00a31600<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To get a fair price for your decorating project, make sure you ask several professionals for a quote. Remember that the size of the area that you want decorating can make a big difference to the price, so be sure to get this included in the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This decorating cost guide should leave you with a rough idea of how much your project will probably cost.
