Hello World! Welcome Friends! The pandemic has changed the concept of home, as it is no longer the haven where you return after a long day at work. It is now the new workplace for most people as thousands of businesses in the U.S. have embraced the concept of remote work for the long haul. It is also your gym, entertainment space, sporting venue, and classroom for your kids. Cost is another consideration when it comes to home decor because you will want to achieve the best in the budget. American homeowners need to think differently about decorating their living spaces in the pandemic era. Here are some decor ideas you can try.
Embrace Minimalism
The minimalist decor trend has been around for some time, but it will become all the more popular in 2021. New homeowners running tight on money can embrace minimalism to do more with less. Stick to fewer furniture pieces that offer a mix of functionality and aesthetic appeal. The idea is to spend less on the decor elements yet make your living space look warm, beautiful, and comfortable.
Go the Extra Mile with Kitchen Decor
As outings are no longer a part of the lifestyle, you will expect to cook at home and eat in rather than dining out. It makes sense to go the extra mile with kitchen decor. Focus on adding aesthetic design elements and dedicated dining space for your guests. Paying attention to the organization is a good idea as you will need more space to store food ingredients and appliances now. Invest in floating shelves and have a larger pantry for embracing the chef-style in the new normal.
Create a Comfortable Office Space
Since you can expect to work from home for the foreseeable future, it is best to invest in a comfortable office space as a part of the architectural design. If you reside in Chicago, you can connect with a reputed architecture firm in Chicago to discuss a layout that includes a home office. You may even consider remodeling the existing design to accommodate a dedicated space for working from home.
Look for Hygienic Choices in Surfaces
Homeowners need to be conscious about material choices for surfaces in bathrooms, kitchens, and high-traffic areas. Look for ones that repel bacteria naturally and are easy to clean. Glazed tiles, brass, and copper are ideal as they help you curb the spread of germs and keep your family and home safe and healthy. You can also invest in home automation and no-touch technology in doorbells and faucets.
Invest in Indoor and Outdoor Entertainment
Another smart decor idea for your new home in the pandemic season is investing in indoor and outdoor entertainment. A private TV and home-theater room is a good addition to your new house. A wide-open, welcoming patio or balcony space is another element you shouldn’t miss out on. These spaces will make your place the favorite party venue for your gang.
Life isn’t the same after the pandemic, and home decor has changed as well. If you plan to buy a new place or have already bought one, invest in these decor ideas and make it the house of your dreams.
