How important are big houses for Happiness??

Most people think that it is better to have a big house for the happiness of the family. Perhaps the most important factor in this idea is how you think about the place.

The size of the house certainly plays an important role in life. The home is a place where family members spend time together. The four-walled environment plays an important role in our relationship with each other.
How the indoor space is used, where the equipment is kept and how the open space is being used these factors decide how and in which part of the house the occupants live get in touch with each other.
According to a study conducted last year at Brigham Young University in the United States, the better we feel about our home, the better our relationships with family will be.
Interior designer Carly Thornock conducted a study on 164 families with children from different homes in the United States. Some of these homes had less than 100 square meters of space per person. 

For four years, the study looked at how the home environment is affecting the four basic elements of living. These four elements are the ability to react, the ability to express emotions, the ability to accept and the ability to make decisions.
The study also asked parents and children to answer a few questions. They were asked how much they agreed with their statement about his home: 'I feel crowded at home' or the phrase 'family members think they are fine as they are'.

Researchers examined responses by size, income, number of rooms, and number of occupants.
They found that most of the space used per person in the home belongs to affluent families, but what surprised them was how the occupants felt about the space in the home directly depends on the relationship between them.
Our thoughts about our home are formed at a very young age. What we think of homes, or what kind of homes we like, also has t the homes in which we grew up.

Design psychologist Dr. Toby Israel believes that everyone has their own personal biography of the environment that tells our personal history of places. However, over time, our relationship with these places takes on a new form, disappears, or is re-established.
Comparing our current homes to the homes where we grew up can tell us a lot about our personal experiences.
"Sometimes people like to live in houses with maps like their childhood, while sometimes they like completely different houses," said Dr. Toby.
It all has to do with your past experiences. They tell you whether you want to change or preserve those experiences.

Dr. Toby mentions a family whose wife belonged to a house in New Jersey near a busy street. Other families with children also lived nearby. However, her husband was from a mountain village in Greece where he had a fishing business.
"The man wanted a house with a lot of land and beauty around it," said Dr. Toby. They didn't care how far they were from the city or the people. The woman wanted a home with lots of neighbors and other children to play with. In other words, there was a difference between heaven and earth in their choice.

But after learning about their past based on a few questions about psychology, the two became aware of each other's views on home and were able to make a decision together.
They both loved the environment so they later chose a house surrounded by trees and it was also part of a developed area with easy access to the neighborhood. And because the house could meet the needs of both of them, it was more likely that they could live happily ever after.
People who share a flat with someone cannot keep the house at will. But still, you can tell by looking at their room what they like. It depends on whether you want to make your room a place of relaxation or a place of pleasure.
This is not an easy task if you want your home to be a place where people have a good relationship with each other, and you are thinking of getting a bigger house to get it.
But interior designer Carly Thornock believes it is always possible to make changes for the better.
The most important thing to remember is to never forget that expectations are not unreasonable. Then the house, no matter how big a closet, change is possible.
"As cities grow, so do the sizes of homes," Thornock said. It is important to be creative. Even a small space can be adapted to your needs.

For example, if the space seems small, you can create a sense of openness through mirrors and lights.

Design psychologist Dr. Toby Israel also advises that family members take care of each other's preferences. In each part of your home, ask each member of the household to indicate the color of their choice and what their living room and drawing room should look like. Looking at the house from different angles will make it easier for you to understand where the problem is and where change is needed for everyone's happiness.
According to Thornock, the important thing is to change the home for the better, which means that you are also considering improving the relationships between those living in this circle.
Whether the home is a spacious living room with a flat mat or a family home, taking care of the needs of others in designing a home is the key to prosperity.
