Home improvement is stealing the spotlight as the number one New Year's resolution for Brits come 2025, if a recent survey holds water. A dive into the aspirations of 2,000 adults showed DIY topping the charts, making up 39% of resolutions, even outshining career ambition.
The survey suggests Brits are more inclined to spruce up their living spaces with new decorations, fittings, and embellishments than work towards career progression. Redrow’s James Holmear, whose firm prompted the research, said: "Christmas is quickly followed by New Year's resolutions and during this time we're often reflecting on what ours will be.".
He added, "It's been interesting to see how home improvements are very much in people's minds as they look to adjust and better where they live. And clearly, it's a regular talking point throughout the year with a break from work no doubt driving further conversation.".
The agenda for personal development in the New Year doesn’t end there, with saving dosh, being mindful of spending, as well as health and appearance are also getting a shout-out. In preparation for the New Year, a deep clean, home organisation and doing jobs that had been put off the rest of the year are top of the list. While one in 10 are even planning a redecoration project according to the data.
