"A new survey of decorating reveals some not-so-pretty trends. The online survey of Houzz users 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. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
