Brits have shared the top things that make a house feel like a home – from hosting Christmas, to feeling safe in the local area. The most important thing when it comes to feeling settled in your home is having the feeling of sleeping in your “own bed”, according to the poll of 2,000 adults.
And having a fridge full of food, putting family photos up, and knowing the kids feel settled, are also among the top 10 signs your home really feels comfortable. On average, Brits feel that they need to enjoy three special occasions, such as birthdays, in their property before it really begins to feel like home.
TV social and behavioural psychologist, Honey Langcaster-James, backed up the findings, claiming it’s not about the furnishings, but more about the experiences shared – both highs and lows – in their home before it begins to really feel like it’s theirs.
