Las Vegas, NV, Oct. 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Serena Neel, the viral home renovation creator who turned a striped bathroom into one of TikTok’s most-watched DIY projects, has officially launched her new Holiday Bathroom series – beginning with a Halloween-themed reveal that has already amassed over 7 million views. The series marks a festive expansion of her signature aesthetic and humorous take on DIY projects. It also comes as Neel amasses over 4.4 million followers on TikTok – a testament to her growing influence in the women-led renaissance that’s reshaping interior design.

Neel first captured public attention with her bold striped bathroom makeover, which has since garnered over 50 million views on TikTok alone and more than 70 million views across platforms. Her follow-up gingham laundry room makeover reached 30 million views and inspired a wave of first-time renovators and renters to experiment with pattern, paint, and affordable design techniques.
DIY for New Generation: Bathrooms as Seasonal Canvases
With her Holiday Bathroom series, Neel introduces a playful new twist on seasonal home décor, challenging the idea that holiday décor belongs only in living rooms and entryways. Her Halloween edition – featuring ghost-themed wall art and affordable themed accessories – sparked immediate fan response. With Thanksgiving and Christmas editions already on queue, the series has quickly become a social event for Neel’s millions of followers across her platforms.
“The idea behind Holiday Bathroom is to make the most underrated room in the house feel like part of the celebration,” said Neel. “You decorate your porch, your living room, your table but what about the space every guest sees? I wanted to create something unexpected and joyful, without needing a full renovation budget.”
Designed to be both festive and functional, the Holiday Bathroom series continues Neel’s core mission: to make DIY projects feel doable, not daunting. While her projects are known for their whimsical flair, each build is designed with renters, women, and first-time DIYers in mind – featuring removable materials, low-cost supplies, and a step-by-step tutorial that empower beginners to explore home improvement.
“You don’t need a power saw or a six-person crew to do something cool,” Neel added. “Most of my audience is doing these projects in apartments, small homes, even rentals. The key is creativity – and giving yourself permission to start.”
This blend of creativity and reliability is driving a change in the home improvement space, where creators like Neel are redefining who gets to have a voice and a toolkit. Industry analysts have noted a significant uptick in women-led DIY content, with more women initiating home improvement projects, sharing tutorials, and leading design decisions than ever before.
According to recent data from home improvement platforms, interest in DIY projects has surged across demographics, particularly among Gen Z and Millennial women. Social-first content, especially short-form videos on TikTok and Instagram, is now the leading source of inspiration for first-time renovators, often replacing traditional TV shows or contractor advice.
What’s Next: Seasonal Drops and More
Neel’s content is helping shape a movement. By embracing color, pattern, and storytelling, she offers a fresh alternative to minimalist or luxury-focused design trends. Her work celebrates imperfections, play, and the everyday – a concept that resonates with followers seeking both inspiration and a permission to try.
The Holiday Bathroom series is expected to continue through 2026, with seasonal drops aligned with major holidays and trends like New Year and Easter. Each episode of the series will include how-to instructions, product buying guides, and even styling tips.
As Neel continues to grow her platform, she’s also exploring new formats and even potential collaborations and brand partnerships in home improvement and seasonal decor. While details remain under wraps, Neel aims to keep building a creative space where people feel seen, supported, and excited to try something new.
“At the end of the day, I’m just someone who picked up a paintbrush and filmed it,” Neel added. “If that helps someone else feel brave enough to try, then that’s what makes the views worth it.”
