Top Ten Do-it-Yourself Projects

Top Ten DIY Projects

Not everybody enjoys do-it-yourself projects, but once you get the hang of DIY you may just find that you not only get things done more efficiently and more cheaply, but you could find that you actually enjoy DIY projects.

If you’re a stranger to DIY projects, you need to identify the tools you are able to work with confidently, and then decide what you can do with them. Otherwise you may need to embrace a few relatively simple skills before you get started in the realm of do-it-yourself endeavors may be categorized as essential maintenance and repair tasks, or more involved home improvement projects.

Maintenance and repair jobs include things like mending fuses, changing sockets, replacing washers or cartridges to stop taps from dripping, clearing airlocks in heating systems, replacing damaged floorboards, replacing broken floor tiles, or even fitting curtain rails and poles.
Home improvement projects on the other hand are more like makeovers, and they may be undertaken indoors or outside.

Our top ten DIY projects are:

1. Painting – the quickest and easiest DIY projects that will transform any room in your home.
2. Change the taps on your basin, bath and sink to immediately modernize the look of these functional rooms.
3. Sand old wooden floors and reseal them to give them a new fresh glow.
4. Replace old kitchen cupboard doors for a totally new look.
5. Remove your popcorn ceiling and replace it with good-looking, solid ceiling-board.
6. Add good looking shelving for extra storage; imaginatively and creatively done these will improve your interior design.
7. Wallpaper your living room to give it a touch of class.
8. Add a brick patio or timber deck onto the side of your house. This will enable you to live an indoor-outdoor lifestyle in the summer months.
9. Once the patio or deck is complete, add a pergola to the area and cover it so that you have some shelter.
10. Build a small pond with a fountain to add the soothing sound of water to your outdoor space.
