Homeowners are turning to DIY to improve their wellbeing - saying it leaves them feeling relaxed, calmer and even stress-free.
A study of 2,000 adults revealed almost three-quarters enjoy the mental boost they get from completing home improvements. One in 10 are left feeling less stressed, while 15 per cent are 'calmer' after nailing a DIY task in their home.
And two in five feel 'satisfied' after a spot of DIY, with almost a fifth going as far as to say they feel 'relaxed'. It also emerged the lockdown has been a driver for many to tackle jobs around the home, as being there more than ever means they now notice what needs doing.
