4 DIY project ideas to bring new life to your home (BPT) - More and more homeowners are taking on the challenge of renovating their homes.

According to Statista, homeowners have spent more time and money on home improvement projects over the last two years than ever before.

While you can hire someone else to renovate your home, you can do many DIY projects without any advanced home improvement skills and knowledge. Check out these four simple DIY home renovation projects that can quickly spruce up your home’s interior.

1. Update fixtures

Small but purposeful changes can make a big impact on your home’s decor. An easy and costeffective DIY project you can do to refresh your spaces is to replace the knobs, handles and pulls on your cabinets, drawers and doors.

This design change can be as simple as picking fixtures with different metals or finishes, such

as switching out silver kitchen cabinet hardware for brass or gold hues or opting for more colorful and interesting knobs and handles. If your rooms have standard white switch plate covers, consider replacing them with decorative ones.

Wallpaper is a fun alternative to repainting a room. Whether you wallpaper a whole room or just one wall as an accent, you can refresh the look of your bedroom, living room, office or kitchen. There are many wallpaper options to choose from, but if you want something unique that truly expresses your per2.

matte or gloss finish so you can revamp your home’s interior with high-quality wallcoverings.

4. Install shelving

Many houses don’t have enough space for all your possessions. You can add more space and visual interest to your home by installing shelving. Installing shelves may seem a bit intimidating, but it’s easier than you may think.

You can install a simple, rustic wood plank on metal or wood brackets and arrange books, trinkets or other small objects on them. If you need a more robust storage system, look for fixed bracket or adjustable shelving to organize heavier objects like kitchen appliances, electronics and lamps.

Changing the ambiance and design of your home doesn’t have to be an expensive or timeconsuming endeavor. Let these four DIY project ideas inspire your future renovations so you can create a space that you can truly call home.

Designers’ trends to get your kitchen and bathroom ready for guests (BPT) - Life at home has changed a lot and, for many people, being “on trend” has taken a backseat to designing around their needs. When it comes to styling your kitchen and bathroom, taking time to choose stylish, yet lasting options, will improve the look and feel of your space for years.

Delta Faucet Company product designers and Delta Faucet lighting partner Kichler Lighting are sharing the timeless kitchen and bathroom trends they’re seeing in real customers’ homes that will last well beyond the next trip around the sun.

Take the guesswork out of designing your perfect bathroom (BPT) - Whether you’re working with contractors and ripping out everything down to the studs or you want a simple DIY upgrade to elevate the space, a new bathroom is functional and adds value to your home. Unfortunately, many people have good intentions for upgrading their bathroom only to feel overwhelmed and confused once they start the project.

One of the most frustrating aspects of designing a bathroom is selecting and coordinating design elements and materials.

Metalworks are key features in the space, adding to the aesthetic and polishing the overall design. They also can be quite intricate, especially when selecting lighting components, which can be difficult to coordinate with everything else. And if metals clash or mismatch, it can make your upgrade look amateur rather than elevated.

modern and beyond, depending on your personal style preferences. Color-matched finishes and material quality matter, but finding finishes that match or coordinate can be difficult, timeconsuming and stressful.

For instance, if you choose brushed nickel, you want the same tones in the metal and texture in the brushing. For popular matte black, this choice might seem straightforward, but blacks can have many different undertones not to mention the matte levels can vary dramatically.

One simple trick to take the guesswork out of designing the perfect bathroom retreat is finding brands that offer partial or whole-room solutions that create a coordinated look. Kohler is often a go-to brand for this because it offers a comprehensive approach with a variety of collections that coordinate lighting, faucets and accessories. Plus, Finishes have the power to if you don’t want everything evoke a certain look in the bath- matching in style, but you want room space, from traditional to to coordinate metals and mate-

One example of coordinating with different collections is drawing from the Kohler Riff Bathroom Faucet and complementing Kohler Riff Lighting Collections. Both are inspired by Louisiana French Creole design and incorporate similar decorative elements available in a range of color-matched finishes to help you build out your room with core products that were meant for each other. combined create a coordinated, sophisticated look that is tactile The Riff Collection Lighting and visually appealing. features squared metal framework and faceted details juxThe stress of a renovation and taposed by sweeping, slightly choosing the right products can flared glass shades, the dra- be daunting.

caused by a faulty floater valve or stop valve (also called a float cup or floater switch). That large bulb floating in the toilet tank prevents the continuous flow of fresh water into your toilet once the tank is filled, but if the valve is old and no longer prevents water from getting through, the tank will keep filling - hence the constant running, which is annoying and wastes water.

The best approach is simply to replace the entire toilet tank float valve assembly, which you can purchase at your local hardware or home improvement store.

5. UNCLOGGING DRAINS Before calling a plumber, try a plunger and/or snake. The quick fix for any clogged drain is a liquid drain cleaner, but certain chemical cleaners can damage some pipes if used incorrectly.

However, some cleaners are beneficial if used properly. Make

sure to choose the right one for the type of drain you’re trying to clean. For kitchen blockages, use a drain cleaner that removes fat and grease. For bathrooms, choose one formulated for soap scum and hair. Proactively using baking soda and vinegar can help prevent drains from clogging.

With these tips, you can safely tackle some simple plumbing repairs. Visit Oatey.com for a variety of handy DIY repair products.
