Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many employees are working from home. The change in the work set-up of many people will certainly affect the future layouts and function of homes. There will be a need for increased storage for office supplies and some homeowners will consider building office spaces in their homes.
Find out what work-from-home spaces will look like 2020 and beyond from one of the area’s most trusted interior remodeling contractors.
Creating Clearly Defined Spaces
When you’re working from where you live, it can be hard to achieve work-life balance. An open floor plan won’t work if two members of the family are working from home and there are kids running around the house too. However, a well-designed home can contribute to increased productivity, health and enjoyment. This year, expect to see interior renovation projects focused on creating quiet spaces dedicated to work.
Work-From-Home Features
Future home offices will be functional, with features like work surfaces, lighting, acoustics and temperature control. Employees can be more productive when they have a room that’s exclusively for work instead of spending the day in their bedroom or at a kitchen counter. If you’re going to work from home five times a week, you’ll also need a comfortable office chair so your back and posture won’t suffer.
You may also consider adding a room that’s dedicated to virtual meetings. Soundproofing and good lighting will be a priority here. Family members can use this space for business meetings, social communication and educational purposes.
Outdoor Living Spaces
Outdoor living spaces are more valuable now since people are limited on where they can go. Homeowners are utilizing their patios, balconies, gardens, yards and other outdoor spaces. Seating, fire, lightning, water and shade can be added to them. These spaces may be used as something beautiful to look at, or as a place to enjoy recreational activities.
Home Gyms
Because of the pandemic, more people are working out at home. Home gyms have become equally as important as home offices. You can build your own home gym in an outdoor living space or any available room in the house.
