These days, you can pretty much DIY stuff around your home. You just need to do some research and maybe watch a few videos to do things like fix a faucet or remodel your study. Of course, this would take time but if you are bored and you are in for a challenge, then you can definitely try doing this.
Aside from reading up on what you plan to do, you also need to gather some supplies. There is nothing more annoying than starting a project and realizing that you are missing one item to complete it. This means you will have to go to your local hardware store and buy what you need, right? Well, things are not as easy as that. You need to consider a lot of factors like the prices and quality of the products, and how convenient it is to go to that store. Lucky for you, we have made a list of the best hardware stores in Singapore.
Note: This list is strictly not in order.

I must say the service provided by Li Fong Hardware is super good. I received prompt responses to my online inquiry from their website on the same day. I even had whatsapp follow-up from their staff (I think it is BK) the day and next day to inform me when my order was coming in so that I could head down to collect.
