People should not be afraid to create the home renovation projects they really want, it has been argued.The Stir blog reported on a number of design tips from Genevieve Gorder, a judge on HGTVs Design Star programme.Ms Gorder noted that one of the biggest flaws when it comes to DIY home projects is a reluctance to fully commit to a design vision.Fear to create the space that they really want and defaulting on beige on beige on beige, she said.Elsewhere, the Stir suggested that Ms Gorder is particularly in favour of uncluttered kitchens that will encourage people to cook.This could involve removing unnecessary items from around the kitchen sink and cooker.When theres a clean butcher block out on the counter, Ms Gorder said, I want to cook.Especially by the stove. People tend to overfill the space with decorative items and knickknacks. Dont do it.
