3 Tips Every DIY Beginner Should Know

Image
Whether you’re a new homeowner eager to make your home completely yours or you’re tired of hiring contractors for every job around the house, there are some tips that every DIY beginner should know before attempting a project. From ensuring the space is clean to having everything you need on hand to install a new walk in tub , these tips will set you up for success. Measure Twice, Cut Once   One of the most common adages in the DIY world is “Measure twice, cut once.” This isn’t exactly literal, but instead means you should be sure what you’re cutting is correct. Measuring multiple times to eliminate chances of errors before cutting is ideal. After you cut, you may not get a chance to fix any mistakes. For example, when installing stainless steel single bowl kitchen sinks , the hole you cut needs to be exact to avoid any gaps in the final install. Slow down, ensure your measurements are accurate, and only make the cut when you are certain everything will fit. This one tip...

A small kitchen footprint calls for a design that combines functionality with space-saving solutions. However, that doesn’t mean practical choices can’t also enhance the appearance of your kitchen. From a striking apron front kitchen farmhouse sink with a spacious basin to built-in cozy dining hacks, make room in your kitchen with these five tips.

Use glass-front doors or even floating shelves to save space and create a sense of depth. Save even more cabinet room with clever wall-mounted storage solutions, such as a magnetic knife holder or wall rack that can hold utensils without occupying precious counter or cabinet space.   Everything and the Kitchen Sink   From meal prep to cleanup, your kitchen sink is a high-traffic area that often requires more space. That’s where a fireclay or stainless steel farmhouse kitchen s...
