Brits’ top dream lifestyle change is a top-to-bottom revamp of the house, survey finds

  • Some 26 per cent of Britons feel lives would be better with a revamp of homes 
  • Other changes include an extra job to make more money or learning new hobby 

A complete home redesign and make-over has topped a list of dream lifestyle changes, according to a survey.

Some 26 per cent of Britons said their lives would be improved by a top-to-bottom revamp of their home.

Travelling the world (19 per cent), getting a new style or look (14 per cent), having a garden make-over (15 per cent), and learning to paint or dance (6 per cent) are other ways we feel our lives could be improved.

Other changes on the nation’s wish list are having an extra job or way to make money – a side hustle – (13 per cent), finishing a course or qualification (11 per cent), getting a promotion at work (11 per cent). 

The survey reveals as many as eight in ten (79 per cent) feel they are not living to their full potential. Almost half (47 per cent) feel they should be making more of their work and career.

Some 82 per cent admit they procrastinate – so much so that tasks sit on our to-do lists for an average of three weeks before being completed.

Almost eight in ten (77 per cent) feel like their life is slipping away, with half (51 per cent) feeling like they should be doing more.

Celina Shi, chief marketing officer at electronics manufacturer OnePlus, which commissioned the survey of 2,000 respondents, said: ‘What this study shows is how many people aren’t realising their full potential, which in this age of opportunity and technology feels like a travesty.’
