Putting Off Home Improvement Tasks
A recent study conducted by Bunnings has revealed that more than seven in 10 Australians have been putting off home improvement tasks, with time being the main reason for DIY activities slipping off the to-do list. This finding highlights the importance of taking advantage of consecutive long weekends like Easter and Anzac Day to tackle those overdue projects.
According to the research, the most common DIY tasks that have been put on the backburner include gardening and landscaping (76 per cent), decluttering and organizing the home (60 per cent), and painting touch-ups (43 per cent). These tasks can be overwhelming, but with a little extra time on your hands, you can tackle them and see positive results.
A Little Effort Now
Bunnings’ DIY expert, Mitch McLean, emphasizes the importance of taking action now, rather than waiting until later. “Many home improvement tasks often get sidelined as the hustle and bustle of the year takes over – but with an extended break on the horizon, there’s no better time to tackle home projects and make the most of this opportunity to get things done,” Mitch said.
“Whether it’s a simple declutter or a full outdoor makeover, you’ll thank yourself later for putting in a little effort now so your home can feel fresh and revamped for months or even years to come,” Mitch added. “With a little extra time on your hands this year, you can make the most of the Easter break and enjoy the benefits of your hard work.”
Project Ideas and Products
- Revamp your garden so it is prepared and ready ahead of the winter season. Start by planting new flowers and mulching existing flower beds, then dress it up by building small garden pathways with decorative pebbles.
- Use the Easter break to upgrade your entertainment area by creating a new outdoor oasis. Add some comfortable seating, a fire pit, or string lights to create a cozy atmosphere.
- Decluttering can be a great way to kickstart your Easter break by doing something proactive that you’ll thank yourself later for. Aim to tackle a new area of the home each day and slowly work through organizing your storage spaces.
- A little bit of paint can make a big difference. For those choosing to take the extended 10-day break, transform your house with a fresh coat of paint – perfect timing for Easter at-home entertaining.
