Home Design Trends After The Pandemic

Home Design Trends After The Pandemic

How the world changes after the pandemic remains to be seen. However, one thing is certain, human ways and habits will adapt to circumstances, including in designing a residence. "Design will become more personal as people use the home for work, study, and so on," says designer Christiane Lemieux. According to him, designers must be aware and wise about how to make life better in the space they have. In the future, many people predict changes, both in design and in client demand for their shelter. What are the requests of clients in designing their homes?

 

1. Flexible Layout

 

Reporting from the Architectural Digest page, flexibility is key in space planning. The designer from New York, Daun Curry, said that currently there is a shift in the layout of a more traditional room. Indeed, nowadays houses with open plans are a favorite. However, with the outbreak of a pandemic that requires many workers to move from home, it is estimated that homeowners will apply a special boundary between work space and other rooms. "Living on an open, modern plan is hugely popular for many reasons, but during this period, we realized it could become a hindrance when workplace activities blended with other spaces," says Curry.

 

2. According to Chief Word William Duff Architects

 

Homeowners who rearrange their residential plans to describe space is the most important thing in building efficient housing. It is not only a place to live, but also a place to study and work. For this reason, each room is clearly defined for its functions and uses. A well-designed home can increase productivity, balance, health and enjoyment. "The concept of an open space may not work well if there is more than one person working from home, or there are children working together," he said, the concept of an open space could be improved by adding partitions.

 

3. Supporting Work Activities

 

The house in the future is expected to be fully functional to support the work atmosphere. The workspace should be supported by supporting furniture, such as chairs, desks, and appropriate lighting.

 

4. Disinfection Room

 

The client's demand for their home is predicted not only to change the layout and design of a special room for work and study, but also a special room for self-cleaning. At every entrance to the house, it is estimated that there are many places to store tissues, disinfectants, disposable gloves, masks, and a sink for washing hands. In addition, there is a special area that is used as a transition space. This room can be used to put packages and clean them
