Half of Americans think at least one room in their home is unsalvageable

Half of Americans have at least one room in their home that they believe is unsalvageable with clutter, according to new research. When asked about their perspective on the space in their homes, a survey of 2,000 adults found that there just isn’t enough. A third of respondents feel cramped in their homes (34%), especially those who live in apartments (39%). While 69% of Americans are satisfied with the space in their home, nearly a fifth (17%) aren’t. A majority of those who are unhappy with the room in their home said they knew space was an issue to begin with, revealing that they settled for their home knowing it wasn’t ideal (73%). On the other hand, one in five of those respondents were initially okay with the amount of space. Conducted by Talker Research for The Container Store, the survey found that this may have changed over time, as 30% feel like they’ve outgrown their home, with apartment-dwellers particularly feeling cramped.
