Renter-Friendly DIY
Stefanie Bloom, the self-labeled “Lazy DIY Mom,” creates TikToks for those who want to maximize their budget while creating their dream place. @beingtheblooms has 1.7M followers and over 14.7M likes thanks to her transparency about the efficiency of “renter-friendly” products that she tries in her own home. Her most used products are peel-and-stick wallpaper which can be used on cabinets and any other flat surface. She also uses peel-and-stick tiles for bathroom floors. All of these are renter-friendly because they are removable and don’t leave any residue which helps renters keep their landlord happy. (The peel-and-stick demonstrations are her most-watched videos.) She also hacks for everyday life for families, showing how to utilize small spaces.
