Knock on Wood

Just about everyone - even those renting a furnished property or living in a newly-built home - can feel the urge to freshen the place up with a new coat of paint, different decor or even a more structural change. While many home improvements are DIY, other jobs may need plans, buildings approval or the help of a contractor.

Something for everyone

France has excellent retailers that specialise in selling materials and tools for DIY home improvement. Browse through both the Furniture & Hardware Shopping INFOrmation Page for lists of suppliers, and the Shopping & Style section of The AngloFILE, AngloINFO's directory of English-speaking businesses in the region.

Slightly more complex jobs - say, fitting a kitchen, repainting the interior, installing heating - may need the help of an artisan specialising in a particular skill. See the Home & Garden category of The AngloFILE for local English-speaking specialists.

Of course, if you have bigger plans that involve major structural changes or additions, the odds are high that you will have to engage more professionals - an architect, a team of builders and a site manager. If you are looking to undertake a project on this scale, you can find those experts listed in the Building & Renovation category of The AngloFILE.

And of course AngloINFO also has INFOrmation Pages to help you on your way: 

Finally, if you're seeking renovation inspiration, why not have a look at the Home & Garden titles in AngloINFO's online Bookshop?
