About the brand
Scott and Lara Harding created DIY Home Comfort to help homeowners make clearer decisions about comfort, renovation, and modern living.
Why we exist
Home improvement advice often lands at one of two extremes: glossy inspiration with no path forward, or technical instruction that assumes you already know the language. DIY Home Comfort lives in the useful middle.
The publication pairs hands-on systems knowledge with contemporary design thinking, so readers can understand the tradeoffs, plan the work, and choose the right next step for their skills, budget, location, and home.
The people behind it
DIY Home Comfort began as a way to share the lessons Scott and Lara had learned through technical work, design, renovation, and life in a home that is always evolving.
Scott began his technical career as an HVAC technician in Utah and later worked independently on home comfort and renovation projects. His interest started with a tool belt from his father at age ten; today he brings field experience, systems thinking, and a practical safety-first perspective to the publication.
Lara is an interior designer, decorator, and hands-on renovator. She brings the questions of space, material, proportion, function, and everyday life into the conversation, helping ensure that technical improvements also make a home more considered and more personal.
