Few words in the English language have such a special meaning as "home". Home is a place where you can relax, kick back and just be yourself. Just about everyone has a strong opinion of what makes a house a home. (30) And for most people in America, home should be, above all, comfortable.
Americans like their homes to reflect their personal tastes. Many do-it-yourselfers enjoy fixing up their house and making it more "livable". They often try to create a comfortable atmosphere so that when they’re at home, they’ll really feel " at home". Sofas and chairs may be heavily padded and arranged in groupings for relaxed conversation. The bathroom even receives special attention. Carpeted floors, scented soaps, colorful wallpaper and decorative curtains decorate the " comfort room" in many homes. And on average, Americans have more bathrooms than any other people in the world.
Americans try to make the most of their space, too. The majority of homes have built-in closets and shelves, and people spare no pains to add dressers, filing cabinets and closet organizers to maximize their storage space. (31) Although keeping the house neat is often a constant battle, Americans feel it’s a battle worth fighting.
Some parts of the country have their own regional preferences. In the western United States, homeowners favor the Navajo Indian style of the Southwest or the cowboy look. (32) In contrast, Easterners prefer French Country or more "fussy" styles.
