Consumers who have recently bought a home are investing more in renovations and are taking on larger projects, worth an average of £42,219, according to Houzz.

Over half of UK homeowners on Houzz plan to start or continue renovations (51%) and spend an average of £23,100 in 2017, with improving the look and functionality being most important for consumers (77% and 65%), respectively.

According to The Houzz & Home – UK report, the bathroom was the second highest ranking room renovation in 2016, followed jointly by the kitchen and living room.
