Home Improvement Month Takes Place Throughout April

Inspiring the Nation to Love the Home They Live In!

#MakeOneChange This April

What is Home Improvement Month?

National Home Improvement Month (NHIM) is the UK's highest profile home improvement Awareness Campaigns taking place in April 2023 and will be bigger than ever with the goal to inspire millions of homeowners and renters. Last year over 17 million adults across the UK were inspired to make a single change to their homes to help them love the home they live in. In 2023 this will be even bigger aiming to inspire a nation to love the home they live in.

MAKE ONE CHANGE IN YOUR HOME

Join in and pledge to take up the National Home Improvement Month challenge of making just one change to ensure you love the home that you live in. There are prizes available for the most exceptional and inspirational home improvement transformation. So whether you update your electrics, tile your bathroom or kitchen or just jet wash your patio head down to your local DIY store this September to start your very own home improvement journey.

Take The Challenge

MAKE ONE CHANGE

Living room or garden? Porch or kitchen? What is the one change that will make the most difference in your home? According to the research*, the kitchen is the best place to #MakeOneChange. for many, the heart of the home – that people would most like to improve, with 20% of those surveyed choosing this first and foremost. The bedroom took the runners-up spot (18%) with the living room in fourth (14%). Amongst those aged under-25 however, the bedroom is the number-one home improvement hotspot (25%) with kitchen (18%) and the bathroom (10%) bringing up the rear, perhaps reflecting differing priorities when it comes to time well-spent.

#MAKEONECHANGE

Our challenge this NHIM is for you to #makeonechange in your home during the month. We want you to love your home as much as possible, because how you feel in your house can have a huge impact on your life. Adding curtains that you get a better nights sleep; building in windows that allow more natural light to flood the rooms; or even constructing extra storage to help you declutter. All of these small changes can make a big difference.

Interior Design Blogger Jen Stanbrook’s top tip on making one change is to add colour into your life: “Colour has a huge impact on the look of your home so take a room, or even just one wall and add a bright splash of colour. You’ll be amazed at the difference this one small change can make.”

SPRING INTO ACTION

As the warm rays of the summer sun become an approaching reality rather than a distant dream - embark on some long-awaited home improvement projects while the weather is on our side.
Starting home improvements in spring is the best way to prepare for an eventful summer, prepare our gardens with lush greenery and make flourishing permanent changes.
Spring as a season refers to resurrection and growth, so for anyone looking to make improvements this would be the best time to spring into action with National Home Improvement Month this September.

GET IT DONE!

We’ve all been there – Six months into a home renovation project and we’ve only been able to procrastinate doing those niggly little jobs that need doing. So much so that research shows that 41% of to-do list items are destined to never get ticked off and we often leave jobs without finishing them.

By having meaningful goals and projects you can immerse yourself in improving your home, increase feelings of happiness and help you to feel content knowing the job is done.

Use National Home Improvement Month to motivate you to finally make that one small change and tick it off your list!
