Home Improvement: Women Aspire to Better Décor; Men to Better Size and Layout

Germany (ots/PRNewswire)

- International findings show top five countries most interested in each area of home improvement

When it comes to what aspect of their home people would most like to improve, the most popular answers among the online population across 22 countries are the interior décor or design (39 percent), the overall size or layout (38 percent), and the furniture (35 percent).

Amongst women internationally, interior décor gets the highest selection, with 43 percent saying this is one of the aspects they would most like to improve. Their next most popular choices are the furniture (40 percent) and the overall size and layout (39 percent).

Amongst the men, their home's overall size and layout is the most popular aspect they want to improve, with 37 percent selecting this. This is followed by the household appliances and the interior décor - both selected by 35 percent of men.

Internationally, significantly more men than women are interested in improving their home's entertainment equipment - with three out of ten men (30 percent) selecting this, compared to just under two out of ten women (19 percent).
