What Makes a Happy Home?



"Want to know what makes a happy home? The findings of a new study might surprise reveals @thetimes in a recent article on the subject. “It’s not about owning your home, but knowing you can live there for as long as you need. It’s not about having big windows with lots of light, but whether you can see nature through them. And it’s not about buying that trendy blue velvet sofa, but how much your home reflects you.” No one’s ever really tried to scientifically study how good design enhances your happiness at home says Alex Depledge who commissioned the study for Resi which identifies six key qualities of a happy home. The findings might surprise you. One of the strongest finding is that you’re far happier when your home is unique to you and reflects who you are. How satisfied you are with the views from your windows is another big predictor of happiness. For the longest time, everyone’s talked about how we need lots of natural light pouring in, but the view outside and connection to nature is far more important".
