Half of Americans have at least one room in their home that they believe is unsalvageable with clutter, according to new research. When asked about their perspective on the space in their homes, a survey of 2,000 adults found that there just isn’t enough. A third of respondents feel cramped in their homes (34%), especially those who live in apartments (39%). While 69% of Americans are satisfied with the space in their home, nearly a fifth (17%) aren’t. A majority of those who are unhappy with the room in their home said they knew space was an issue to begin with, revealing that they settled for their home knowing it wasn’t ideal (73%). On the other hand, one in five of those respondents were initially okay with the amount of space. Conducted by Talker Research for The Container Store, the survey found that this may have changed over time, as 30% feel like they’ve outgrown their home, with apartment-dwellers particularly feeling cramped.

“My son was murdered in case of mistaken identity
The heartbroken mum of a teen murdered in a case of mistaken identity described the moment she found out her son had died - and how she couldn’t “protect him”. Nikki Knight’s son, Mason Rist, 15, and his friend, Max Dixon, 16, were “hunted down” and stabbed in a “revenge attack” after being wrongly identified as culprits of an earlier incident. The two pals were on their way to get a pizza when Anthony Snook, 45, arrived in his Audi with Riley Tolliver, 18, Kodi Wescott, 17, and two teenagers, aged 15, 16 and 17, who cannot be named for legal reasons. CCTV footage - from Nikki's house - captured the horrific 33 second attack which began when four youth jump of the vehicle on Mason's doorstep, just metres from her the family home in Knowle, Bristol, where he grew […]
