Your home should be a haven where you can relax at the end of a long day. No one has a perfect home but you can increase your overall happiness in life by changing the little flaws in your home that bring you discomfort. Some people don't consider comfort to be an important feature of a home, but it's extremely important for a happy life. It needs to be considered. A good example of increasing your comfort level at home is to make sure your furniture is suited to your needs. If you have to struggle to put things on a top shelf, lower it -- or at least get a step stool!
