We've made it pretty clear that you can DIY just about anything, from touchscreen-friendly gloves to a hydrogen fuel cell. And over at DIY Network, the same theory applies—but with a focus on homeowners and a team of experts ready to show you all the tips, tricks, and how-tos for making your house comfortable, stylish, and green.
Why We Love DIY Network
DIY Network shows you how to tackle the kinds of projects that you'd generally ask of a professional, from installing a heated hardwood floor to leveling your new custom cabinets. Concise, clear videos in categories that include plumbing, painting, decorating, floors, remodeling, electrical, bathroom, kitchen, outdoors, plumbing, and windows, walls, and doors are easy to follow and let you see exactly what your project should look like at every stage, while subcategories range from the entirely practical—like electrical safety—to the more aesthetic, like painting techniques. So whether you're choosing headboards or bathroom fixtures, tile or heating systems, there's plenty of instruction for any project.
How to Go Green with DIY Network
Keeping your home in good shape can enhance your green efforts by letting you replace toxic paints with low-VOC versions, install sustainable floors instead of synthetic, keep your heating, cooling, and electrical systems efficient, and giving your garden an oasis-like feel. But shelling out for pros to do everything isn't always easy on your wallet—which is why saving money by using the instructions at DIY Network lets you spend more on eco-friendly materials. Also on the site, green-centered tips—like roundups of non-toxic cleaning supplies, ideas for reusing salvaged materials, and tips for an energy-efficient kitchen give you the inspiration to keep your home—and life—as green as can be.
