total room makeover-where do you start!?

Question

everything needs done,not just decorating but actual work before decorating,plastering ect.
floors, walls...

Answer 1

remove all things you don't want to keep. rip up flooring, lay down drop cloths.
paint.
then replace flooring so you don't get paint on it
then you replace the furniture and decorate/accessorize

Answer 2

Sit down with a pen and paper and make a plan of how you want it to look. Go out and check availability and costing of materials to match your ideas. Then protect the floor (if not replacing) and start on the plaster. Do all structural things any rewiring etc. Clean up and commence with the decorations. Then the finishing touches soft furnishings etc.
Good Luck

Start with the windows then the ceiling, then the walls, floor last. Plastering is the worst, once youve got that problem licked everything else is a doddle.
