Their Homes?
Throughout this study, we wanted to find out whether there are more people completing their own DIY or whether handymen or women are still a vital part of our visionary home designs.

To What Extent Do People DIY?
But, how much do you trust yourself when it comes to home improvements? Is there really, only so much you can learn from YouTube?

What Kind of DIY Are You Willing To Undertake?
Which, if any, of the following DIY work do you do?
Who Do You Trust With Decorating Your Home?
When it comes to DIY, you can find pretty much any type of handyman or woman on Facebook, Google and a variety of online and offline directories. But when it comes to redecorating your home, do you really trust a stranger to complete the work? What if they don’t quite grasp your vision, what happens if you are overcharged for little work…
