National off-price retailer HomeGoods recently conducted a survey to determine how we live in our homes. The survey complements the recently released 2010 U.S. Population Census. Key findings:
- 47% of Americans have not updated their home's decor in the last 5 years. 9% haven't updated in 10 years. (This is not surprising given our recent economic pressures.)
- 44% call their home style traditional, 22% modern, 13% eclectic, 10% country, and 2% global.
- 20% reported feeling happy with their home's decor.
- More than 50% feel relaxed at home, but 14% feel their home furnishings make them gloomy.
- 36% only spend 5-8 waking hours in their homes each day; 26% spend 9-12 hours a day at home.
- 65% of women would rather shop for their home furnishings than for shoes (35%).
- 58% of men rate shopping for the home for fun than for shoes.
- 38% of men and 46% of women wish they could throw out something on display in the home that is important to their significant other.
