Others will show you some easy (and hard depending on your skill level) ways to add that personal touch to places you can work on yourself if you are a DIYer. There are even some websites with video feeds that will actually show how to do remodeling/building work.
Magazines and Books
Books and magazine is also another great place to find inspiration. Go to the local bookstore and look through all the home improvement magazines. Buy books about “How to remodel your home” or “home remodeling” to get some inspiration and ideas.
Television

Local Hardware store
If you are still having a hard time getting ideas for your home remodel you can always go down to your local hardware store. Stores like Home Depot, Lowes, or Ace have a variety of different options when it comes to remodeling.

Architect or Contractor
Going with the pros will definitely set you back a on budget but if you are doing a large remodel it may just save you some time to call an architect or contractor. These people have experience and knowledge on where things should or shouldn\’t go and can help you figure out what it is you want to do.
