"  A new survey on the topic of home decorating reveals some not-so-pretty trends. An online survey of Houzz users who are currently working on a decorating project finds that: \u2022 Just 2% feel like they&amp;#039;ve achieved their vision for their homes, though 54% said they&amp;#039;re on their way to their goal. \u2022 Though that vision might be a singular one, since the survey found that only 29% of women consider their significant other&amp;#039;s taste when making design decisions, compared with 43% of men. \u2022 TVs are also infiltrating more rooms of the house, including kids&amp;#039; bedrooms. In fact, 35% of respondents said their children&amp;#039;s rooms have TVs, which is the same percentage as those who have reading nooks. \u2022 Another surprise is that 16% of respondents have televisions in their dining rooms. That&amp;#039;s a new definition of TV dinner. \u2022 Maybe more people would use their dining rooms if there was a TV in it? A combined 30% of users say they use their dining room monthly, rarely, or never. \u2022 Maybe more people are eating in bed, since the survey found that 52% of master bedrooms have TVs, and 8% have a mini fridge, which is the same percentage of master bedrooms that have fireplaces. The survey of 1,715 Houzz users in the U.S. and Canada was conducted in July.   This article originally appeared on .
