We are experiencing the most significant changes in our lifetime. Our homes have become the protagonist of these times. After living indoors 24*7 for months now, the need to own a home and design it well is getting over-emphasised. If you have your dwelling, you can live carefree and make design level changes for a comfortable and self-sufficient abode. The pandemic is making us inclined to buy a property, sheltering our family, and executing some careful design choices. Health and hygiene are also gaining paramount significance further influencing the future house design in the coming times.
Architects and interior designers project some modifications in the residential architecture and you may consider them before buying your home or revamping it.
The Niksen Space: The Dutch word “Niksen” means “to do nothing”. During the quarantine phase and in the days ahead, the need for such a space cannot be stressed enough. After being forced to stay at home, some days, you want to slow down and have moments when you do just nothing. In the pre-COVID era, you had to plan holidays to indulge in me-time. But holidays are far-fetched now, and the need to take a break from routine is becoming a prerequisite to staying healthy and productive.
Design Change: In the post COVID homes, such a dedicated space where you “do nothing” may become a trend. It can translate into a small and relaxing corner or any sanctuary-like space inside your home.
The Office at Home: If all this while you thought of adding a study and desktop in a room corner for those work from home days, it is time to think again. Jobs from home will become the new normal and it will no longer be a makeshift arrangement. When you have to work from home for a longer time, you need to demarcate the personal and professional life to be more productive and focussed.
Design Change: A separate office space at home can become a necessity. Well-lit and spacious enough to accommodate a desk, chair, efficient storage and aesthetically appealing for video calls.
Spacious Homes, with a View: After spending days inside the home, people have been craving for an outing and the closest one could go was to the balcony or by the window. During this quarantine and lockdown phase, a spacious balcony or porch or courtyard has become imperative. It is more important than ever to have a well-ventilated home, a balcony where you can have a sit-out and bask in nature’s glory. Moreover, with holidays a distant dream, living in a house with a beautiful view is also becoming a necessity.
Design Change: The post-COVID homes will have a spacious indoor, which will seamlessly integrate with the outdoors. Think of designing your home balconies well with a vertical garden and comfortable sit-out space. While investing in your next property, carefully ascertain the actual area you get inside the apartment and outside.
Therapeutic & Sustainable Living: The need to bring greens indoor and amalgamate sustainable home décor and solutions will help to make the house conducive for therapeutic living. When you add plants indoor, you can reduce indoor air pollution, stress level, and bring positivity. It is time to evolve and think about ways to lower your carbon footprint on the planet. It is also essential to think of biophilic colour elements in your home design. Try to introduce shades of green, brown, and light yellow, and benefit with the magic of natural colour therapy.
Design Change: How about adding a little space for cleaning-up and sanitising. In the post-COVID set-up, this change will become a necessity. Besides, if you long to do up a kitchen garden and have indoor plants, then now is the time. It is soothing, calming and can usher happy and positive vibes.
The Smart Home: The concept of smart homes started trending way before the COVID-19 days. However, it was looked up as a luxury and design trend of a futuristic home. Smart technologies were added in contemporary houses for the comfort and luxe factor. However, now as the concept of virus-free surfaces gains paramount significance, no-touch, sensor, and voice-enabled technologies will become the need of new-age homes.
Design Changes: Invest in smart homes or add solutions like video door phone system, bathroom occupancy sensor, smart card door entry, or voice-controlled elevators.
