Do-It-Yourself Home Improvements 

Making improvements to your home without hiring a professional plumber, builder, or electrician may be easier than you think. Even if you are new to DIY projects, there are many simple hacks that you can do on your own. 

There are many things you can do to improve the appearance of your home without hiring a professional handyman, such as adding a touch of sophistication or glamour to your living space or sprucing up your bathroom with some clever accessories. 

Mirrors 

Mirrors are a great way to add a touch of class to your home, and they can be installed quickly and easily. In the vast majority of cases, a simple hook and screw are all that is needed to safely and securely install your mirror. However, depending on the size and weight of the mirror, attaching it to the wall with an adhesive hook rather than a drill may be possible. This is true of some mirrors. 

However, if your mirror comes with installation instructions or weight restrictions, you should follow them. The last thing you want is for your beautiful new mirror to fall off the wall and break. Who among us would willingly choose seven years of misery? 

Accessories for the bathroom 

Try updating your bathroom with new bathroom accessories to give it a new look in a hurry and without breaking the bank. 

Toilet paper roll holders, tumblers, bath mats, shower caddies, laundry baskets, bins, towel rails, and robe hooks are just a few of the accessories you could add to your bathroom. 

Because there are so many bathroom accessory options, including some that don’t even require the use of screws or a drill, you can give the impression that your bathroom was recently renovated in a short period of time. It’s amazing what a minor adjustment or the addition of some new accessories can accomplish. 

Bathroom accessories are an excellent way to add color 

Bathroom accessories, which are also an excellent way to add color to your bathroom, are an excellent way to do so. From elegant towel rings and robe hooks in gold and black to bright yellow bath mats, there is a colorful bathroom accessory to complement every type of bathroom decor. 

Cabinets 

The addition of furniture to your bathroom is not only a great way to increase storage space, but it is also a great way to spruce up the appearance of the space and inject some personality into it. 

For good reason, mirror cabinets are the most common type of bathroom cabinet. It is not only ideal for storing all of your toiletries and cosmetics, but it also improves your vision when applying makeup or shaving. 

Tall cabinets are also available in a variety of finishes, including traditional white, more contemporary grey, and even an imitation wood grain. 

Installing and fitting cabinets can be as simple as placing them in the desired space for a pre-assembled item, assembling a flat-pack, or fixing to the wall if you have chosen a wall-fixed cabinet or mirror cabinet. 

Cabinet installation and fitting can be as difficult as designing and building custom cabinets from scratch. If the instructions are followed exactly, any of these options can be completed, even by someone who is inexperienced with DIY projects; however, some of these options will take longer than others. If you are willing to put forth the effort to learn, you will have no trouble installing a new cabinet in a short period of time! 

Taps 

Kitchen faucets Changing the taps in a room, whether it’s the kitchen or the bathroom, can completely transform the space, even if you don’t change anything else. You are certain to find a beautiful new faucet that is the ideal fit for your property because we offer beautiful gold, copper, and black options for both the kitchen and the bathroom, in addition to the timelessly elegant chrome. 

Fitting a tap can be a fairly simple process if you have the right tools and instructions, and as long as you remember the most important step, which is to turn off your home’s water supply before removing or installing any tap. The last thing you need is for your home to flood! 

If, on the other hand, you’ve never attempted a do-it-yourself project of this nature before, make sure to follow any instructions that come with your new faucet, and don’t be afraid to contact a professional if you have any questions. 

Screens for the bathroom 

If you already have a shower curtain but find that it is no longer functional, or if you believe that your bathroom could benefit from a more elegant touch, a bath screen would be an excellent addition. Bath screens are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles, allowing you to select the one that is best suited to your bathroom while also preventing water from damaging other items in your bathroom while showering. 

Keep in mind that before drilling into any bathroom wall, you should always check for wires and pipes. Because of the close proximity to the shower, this is especially important when installing a bath screen. 

Seats for toilets 

Changing out your toilet seat is one of the simplest and quickest ways to spruce up your bathroom, and it’s also one of the least complicated bathroom fixtures that a novice can replace. The most important factor to consider before purchasing a toilet seat is the shape of your toilet, as this will determine the type of toilet seat that you require. This is true whether you want a traditional white seat or something a little more daring. 

The three most common toilet shapes are square, round, and D-shaped, and each style can only be installed in the corresponding toilet shape. Fitting the toilet seat to the bowl will only take a few minutes once you’ve found the right shape. 

Bathroom wall panels 

Investing in new bath panels is an excellent way to revitalize your bathroom. Bath panels come in a variety of colors and styles, ranging from wood-effect panels to sleek contemporary grey finishes. Installing bath panels is a simple process regardless of your level of experience with DIY projects. 

A bath storage panel is an excellent choice to consider if you want to update the look of your bathroom while also increasing the amount of storage space available. A storage bath panel allows you to keep items out of sight between your bathtub and the panel itself. These panels can have doors that slide or hinge open and are lockable. 

If you are only replacing an existing bath panel, you will most likely already have all of the battens you need. If this is the case, attaching your new panel to the existing one may be possible. If, on the other hand, you are starting from scratch and installing a bath panel around your bathtub for the first time, you will need to do some extra work. This work will include installing batons to support your panel. 

Radiator Safety Covers 

Radiator covers are an excellent way to instantly update the look and feel of any room in your home. Available in a wide range of designs and colors, from the traditional white to the more contemporary anthracite or gray. Radiator covers are great not only for hiding unsightly, outdated radiators, but also for creating a barrier between your radiator and other people, lowering the risk of anyone getting burned. As a result, radiator covers are especially useful in homes with children and pets. 

Even if the radiator cover is delivered flat-packed rather than pre-assembled, installation is a simple process. The various components of flat-pack radiator covers are simply screwed together. Some of them are freestanding and don’t even need to be screwed into the wall. However, placing anything, especially valuables, on top of a freestanding radiator cover should be done with extreme caution. 

If you are concerned about freestanding radiator covers, a more secure and wall-mounted option can be installed instead. This is a particularly useful feature for households with children. These will simply have a bracket attached to them, which you will need to screw into your wall.
