Easy DIY bathroom projects
Spending more time at home has put in- creased focus on
bathrooms for homeowners, which is why one of the top home improvement trends of 2021 is adding or updat- ing these spaces. Fortunate- ly, remodeling or adding a bathroom DIY-style can be much easier than you may think with some planning and expert tips.
From the inspiration stage to layout planning and be- yond, there are many impor-

If you want an update but are undecided on the de- sign, begin your search for inspiration online. For ex- ample, explore Pinterest and follow fellow DIYers so you can create boards based on bathroom trends that inter- est you. Searching hashtags
on other social media apps, like Instagram, will be help- ful as well. Some example hashtags to search could be #diybathroom, #diyflooring and #bathroomremodel.
RESEARCH INEXPENSIVE ALTERNATIVES
Explore inexpensive solu- tions that are simple enough for a DIYer to install. For ex- ample, macerating systems are options in places with no below-floor drainage that’s typically required in bath- rooms and/or if drainage is far away or not close by.
