Women are often keener to get stuck into home improvement projects than their male counterparts, an expert suggests, which might interest those thinking about installing new
Roman blinds.
According to sofeminine.co.uk, DIY expert Craig Phillips suggests that females are less likely to put off improvement work.
Mr Phillips, who won the first ever series of Channel Four's Big Brother programme at the start of the last decade, commented: "Men will happily put it off until next weekend but the girls want to get their hands dirty straight away."
However, the news provider also reports him as saying that a lack of confidence may be deterring some of the country's women from trying their hand at DIY.
The expert made his remarks following the launch of the Chix & Mortar course, which aims to provide DIY advice to women.
Meanwhile, when improving their properties, consumers might want to think about introducing energy efficient measures, E.ON's Emma Thompson recently suggested.
