Have you got a little one on the way? Or perhaps just fancy refreshing your home? We’ve got the perfect tools to help make it as simple as can be! It’s time to transform your man cave into something much more, all with the help of Harris.

DIY can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be! We’ve made it simple by putting together a handy list of the tools you need to become the greatest DIY’er ever!

Masking Tape

Make sure you don’t get any pesky paint drops on switches and skirting boards by masking them with tape. Ideal for general painting, the masking tape will help to protect windows, doors and carpets for up to 24 hours! This gives you plenty of time to rest…we mean paint!

B&M Top Tip: Clean the surface you’re planning on masking before you start applying the tape, to ensure a strong bond!

Take Pride in the Preparation

No matter how carefully you paint, there’s always the chance that you’re going to end up with some little splatters on the floor! Make sure you’re covered for this by using a dust sheet, especially if it’s going to be a big decorating job. There’s nothing worse than finishing painting your wall only to look down and see paint all over your lovely clean floor… so ensure there’s no tears by protecting the surface!

Don't Brush me off

So, you’ve taped the areas you don’t want painted, and put your dust sheet down…what’s the next step in transforming your man cave? Picking the right brushes! It’s easy to just pick a big brush and hope for the best, but if you truly want to turn your room into something special, it’s more than worth having an assortment of brushes. Each brush has its own speciality, with larger ones better for long strokes and the smaller ones perfect for the nitty-gritty edges. Don’t be afraid to use more than one brush, it’ll be a life saver in the long term!

Now you’re all prepared to transform that man cave, ready for its next use! Why not take a peek at our handy video for inspiration? We think the clouds are a cute touch to brighten up a child’s room! The world is your oyster though, turn the room into anything you want – the only limit is your imagination!
