Enhancing and decorating are two different things that you do to a product
Beauty, appeal and the appearance of a product often attract customers into buying products.
Products that are unique and attractive often make them noticeable and saleable to buyers.
Finished wood, metal and bamboo products are already appealing by the way they
were made. However, enhancing the uniqueness of the product will make it more appealing and
attractive in the eyes of buyers. Decorating the products increase their attractiveness. These products
are to be marketed as an alternative source of income.

Enhancing and decorating are two different things that you do to a product
Enhancing means making the total appearance of the product attractive, the parts are well-
polished and no defects will be observed. Enhancing makes the product more interesting and
functional to the user. It involves printing, designing, painting and coloration of the wood, bamboo, or
metal finished products to increase their beauty and appeal to the target buyers.
Decorating means making a finished product look more attractive by adding extra
items or images to it.
