General information only

The guides on Interior Design Decor DIY Guide are written to help beginners understand home renovation and decorating. They are general information, not professional advice for your specific home. Every building is different, and conditions such as hidden wiring, structural issues, moisture or hazardous materials can change what is safe and appropriate.

Safety and professional help

• Electrical, gas, structural, roofing and major plumbing work can be dangerous and in many places legally requires licensed professionals and permits.
• Always turn off power and water and verify before working, use appropriate protective equipment, and follow the manufacturer's instructions for every product and tool.
• Homes built before the 1980s may contain lead paint or asbestos. Have suspect materials tested before disturbing them.
• If you are unsure, stop and consult a qualified professional.

Local codes

Building codes, permit requirements and regulations vary by country, state, and municipality. It is your responsibility to check and comply with local requirements.
