May is the month when we specially honor Moms, they help make a house a home! What factors are important for home remodeling to get a positive daily living experience? The latest survey by American Home Study found from comparing results from the same survey done two years earlier that there were increases in levels of importance in all key factors about safety and wellness at home. Homeowners reported they wanted their home to be a safe and comfortable place (93%, 91%) that facilitates relaxation and enjoying family (87%, 86%).
Surprisingly, the results showed that homeowners feel less well now as compared to 2020’s October survey. There is good news though, people are more motivated to make changes for better self-care. These are some of the top areas of wellness important to the majority of homeowners (83-89%), and their current low level of satisfaction in those categories.
Typically, people report they are doing home remodeling to update the looks/design, appliance & fixtures and improve layout function & flow. The survey found the most desired home features are: greater technology and energy efficiency (56%), more & better storage (55%), and a better equipped kitchen (49%). This study also found a fourth motivating factor for home remodeling rising in popularity. Forty-three percent wanted results to help them improve their levels of health & wellness.
What are some practical applications to help achieve these results that women want in their home remodeling projects for a greater sense of security and wellness? (Listed in order of most frequently included).
