Amongst those planning to improve, 63% are perusing paint charts, whilst a third are planning something a little more involved with a new bathroom or kitchen top of the list.
Nearly a fifth are planning even bigger projects like loft conversions and extensions.
As we revealed some months ago, when money gets short, there's a temptation to attempt more home improvements yourself, however, the figures are not in your favour with over 24% of those surveyed revealing a DIY disaster in the last 12 months, which on average cost £145 to put right. Leaking plumbing, ill-fitted kitchen units and dangerous electrics to name but a few.
No wonder 58% of women wouldn't trust their partner to tackle anything more complicated than hanging a picture.
