Data has shown that people argue more often in the kitchen and relax more in the living room
Although many will think that couples often argue in front of the bathroom, about who will enter it first, this is not true. Only seven percent of couples fight before this time.
A study showed that the space that causes the most conflict between family members is the kitchen. About 15 percent of respondents say that this creates problems with their family or family members, Telegrafi reports.
In addition, only seven percent said they like to spend more time in the kitchen, while 65 percent chose the living room as their favorite place to spend time with people.
More than half (54 percent) believe that the living room is the best place to relax, compared to only four percent who chose the kitchen to relax.

Resi commissioned a study called "The Science of a Happy Home" to find out how we really feel about the space we live in and surveyed 2005 people. Their data research partner Focaldata used personality traits from the OCEAN profiling model used by psychologists to assess how happy a home made people.
A whopping 49 percent said the living room was their most important room, compared to just 17 percent who said it was the kitchen. Of all the rooms in the house, 30 percent of us would prioritize investing in the kitchen over any other space, a figure that rises to 74 percent for those without an open space. Two-thirds of us (64 percent) don't have an open kitchen.
A quarter (25 percent) also said the kitchen needed the most improvement of any room in the house, with the figure rising to a third (36 percent) of those who were generally unhappy with their home. Additionally, 36 percent said the kitchen requires the most maintenance, more than any other room in the home. /Telegraph/
