In Your Not Forever Home, Katherine Ormerod has curated a range of projects for every room in a rented house or flat, guiding you through techniques and invaluable insights that will help create spaces tailored to your taste. Katherine addresses why many of us are renting now for much longer, and provides reassuring guidance on how to approach alterations with your landlord - and, if you are new to DIY, Your Not Forever Home offers projects for a range of skillsets, from entry-level to the more experienced, with Katherine sharing her own experiences along the way.
This was a fun interior design book with a lot of fun but very simple DIYs you can do to elevate a temporary living situation! As someone who moves around more often than I would like, these easy pops of personality in a temporary space can be so beneficial. I will say that some of the DIYs are very simplistic, and I wish there were some more complicated or advanced DIYs that would make more of an impact on your home. All in all, a good beginner's guide to decorating a temporary space.
