Men show crafty side

STYLE conscious men now splash out more than women on styling their homes, reveals a poll.

The findings show that the average bloke splurges £1,304 a year on soft furnishings, scented candles and homeware, compared to women’s £1,141 spend.

The survey, by wallpaper firm Graham & Brown, reveals that 87 per cent of men say they are more interested in home decor than their dads.

Company spokesman Alan Kemp said: “More men are choosing homeware than ever before.”
