Dream Big With Our 2017 Home from the Heart Survey

To dream is to believe that the impossible is possible. There are no boundaries, no limitations, and no drawbacks or setbacks. You can be who you want to be, build what you want to build, live where you want to live. In your dreams, your home has everything you ever desired – a great room with stone fireplace, the perfect casual entertaining space in the living room, a country kitchen, a sprawling ranch with modern touches, the perfect home theatre, a sauna. And the list goes on.

After all, home design at its heart is about imagining what could be. And every year, trends shift and new ideas emerge about what constitutes the ideal “dream home.” Lifestyles continually evolve, challenging home designers to keep up or stay ahead of the curve. There is still a growing desire for quality over quantity in the square footage of a home, but the amenities are always changing.

So how do we at Associated Designs keep up with the desires of homebuyers? Well, it’s quite simple: We ask for your input! Every year, we invite readers to complete the Home from the Heart Survey, an annual questionnaire that gets to the heart of what you want in a home. The results from the survey help designers follow current lifestyle trends so they can better understand the family’s evolving preferences. From these results, Associated Designs will create the 2017 Home from the Heart home design, reflecting how people truly envision their dream home.

Your voice, your dreams, your ideas are the expertise we are looking for because only you know what’s in your heart.

The 2017 Home from the Heart Survey takes into account some shifts in home design preferences, and some of the questions will reflect those shifts. For instance, the laundry/utilities room will add a mud hall/mud room option to the list. In the Pacific Northwest, there is always room for a mud hall to catch the rain- or snow-soaked shoes and jackets that are so common. And as electric cars become a bit more common, or at least a part of the dream, the survey includes charging stations as a garage option.

But this is just a sampling of what the survey delves into. The designers at Associated Designs are more than interested in your perspective; they are eager to make your dreams a reality. Let them hear about the amenities you’ve always wanted, the home you’ve always dreamed of. Because the ultimate goal is to gauge what you truly want – whether it’s a three-car garage, a wraparound porch or a bonus room for the kids.

So dream big. The impossible is possible.
