Why We Love Bathroom DIY (And Why You Should Too!)

People are recently becoming less and less independent when it comes to ‘doing it yourself’, whether that be decorating, putting together some flat-pack furniture or simply fixing something minor. It is far more common for people to pick up the phone and call their local handyman to come and do the work for you rather than trying yourself first. This is why we have complied 4 reasons as to why we love bathroom DIY, and you should too!

1. It increases self-reliance 
   When you take on the responsibility of fixing something yourself (e.g. a leaky tap, or broken chair leg) you feel proud when you have achieved something. This is because a new skill has been learnt so you have more self-reliance, making you panic less when things go wrong again (and you have saved money along the way by not having to hire someone).
2. Gives you satisfaction 
   Think how good you felt when you put up that shelf in the bathroom or painted that wall that has been staring miserably at you for the last month. Giving yourself the feeling of accomplishment can boost your morale and make you feel better within yourself.
3. Creates bonding time with the family 
   With technology becoming more apparent, children are less likely to become hands on with building and making things. This is why it is more important to now spend time as a family decorating or creating items to go in the house or by up-cycling already existing items!
4. Encourages you to leave technology alone
   More and more time is now spent on phones, tablets, laptops and computers that everyone is forgetting about everything else. Why not grab a tin of paint and give those bathroom cupboards a new lease of life?

See, by doing a bit of DIY everyone now and then it can really benefit you!
