How COVID-19 has influenced the requirements of our future homes

The COVID-19 lockdown has forced all of us to stay indoors—invariably, we’ve spent a lot of time observing our surroundings and sometimes, even improving them. Most of us have identified some flaws in the design of our existing homes, especially in the way they attract infections and germs. Here are a list of changes that should be introduced within the designs of our homes in a post COVID-19 world.

 

Multifunctional Areas

During this lockdown, many families have been cramped up together, making their living situation uncomfortable. In small homes with multiple walls and tiny spaces, a compact space becomes even more cramped. Therefore, homeowners should look towards a shift in open plan homes so that all the common areas of the house are accumulated within a single space. The open plan allows for a flexible furniture layout, thereby making room for multiple functions. Some additions may include a meditation corner, space for yoga or exercises and a home office to name a few.


A Well-designed Outdoor Space

For those who have the luxury of a garden or a terrace/balcony should make the most of it. Many professionals may now start working from home more than ever, and will need areas in the house that can make them feel rejuvenated and relaxed. These breakout spaces can be multifunctional and create a good indoor-outdoor connect. A garden or a balcony also helps create better ventilation in the home, thereby keeping the occupants mentally and physically healthy.


A Relaxing Ambience

As people across the globe have spent a lot of time indoors, they’ve realised how essential it is to make homes comfortable. A relaxing ambience can be achieved with soft-toned walls, good illumination, ventilation, the use of natural building materials and lots of plants.
