DIY is a concept that originated in the West in the 1960s. Originally, it meant to repair the home by using appropriate tools and materials without relying on or hiring professional craftsmen.
The rise of DIY terms is often attributed to Barry Bucknell, a British TV presenter and craftsman. Bucknill first defined the concept of DIY clearly and promoted it vigorously, making this term widely known.
Europeans began to decorate their houses themselves. While saving money, they found that the house decorated by DIY is more personalized. No matter what you decorate it, it is different and you are most satisfied.
