| Abstract | ||||
| The purpose of this study is to investigate Almutlaa City residents' housing needs, as well as their housing values, which influence their residential design. This study uses an online survey questionnaire as part of a quantitative research approach. Participants were notified of the survey via social media platforms such as WhatsApp and Telegram. A total of two hundred and nineteen (N= 219) Almutlaa residents took part in this study. Kuwaiti people assigned to build homes in Almutlaa City were invited to take part in this study using a purposive sampling technique. The findings of this study revealed that interior design facilities play an important role in Almutlaa housing design. The top economic value in the study is healthy housing, while the top social value for the study participants is a home that provides freedom. The top two psychological values for families in Almutlaa City are comfortable and beautiful dwellings. This paper provides useful information about the factors that can assist practitioners, interior designers, and educational programs in designing for young families in Kuwait. | ||||
