DIY home hacks on TikTok: Research reveals which projects could damage your home, and which ones are worth trying.
September 23, 2021 - 17:09 BST Nichola Murphy Admit it, we've all been tempted to test out our DIY skills over the past year in order to freshen up our homes – and TikTok has been offering up plenty of quick and easy hacks to try.While adding a lick of paint here and there might not hurt, it turns out that there are lots of popular TikTok home improvements that experts advise against. A study from Confused.
After teaming up with DIY expert, Peter Hodgins, from Principle Kitchens and Carpentry, all of the hacks were given a score. Just 32 per cent received the professional seal of approval, while over a third of DIY home videos should actually be avoided as they could cause damage to your property. Peter explained:"With all the extra time we’ve had at home over the past 18 months, so many people have done a spot of DIY on their homes – some successfully and others not quite as well. "Unfortunately, watching a few TikTok videos does not make you an expert in building or plumbing, and this can sometimes mean that people are left disappointed with the finish, functionality and even safety of their DIY home hacks.
