By now, most people across the globe are sick of hearing about COVID-19, but the truth is, the pandemic has reshaped many things. It might surprise you to realize one area affected is interior design.

It’s common knowledge that for the past year people have been spending more time at home. Even if many businesses and events are no longer closed or cancelled, people take their health seriously. A huge number of industries have adopted “work from home” policies making telecommuting the standard for many jobs.

All this time at home has people giving more thought than ever to what they want “home” to be like.

Thanks to the pandemic:

• Open living areas that have been popular need division and earthy colors are popular for tying work and school hubs together
• Creative storage units like ottomans, sideboards and cabinets gain popularity in every room of the house
• Rarely used guest rooms are being converted into the home office as many companies move to full- or part-time telecommuting
• The need for multi-functional spaces have people adding desks to master bedrooms and children’s rooms
• Stylish and ergonomic desk chairs outsell rockers and recliners
• Open kitchens with large islands featuring integrated seating are the heart of the home

Design changes aren’t the only thing that’s been affected, either. More people than ever are using anti-microbial textiles, such as those created from hemp, to keep germs from proliferating.
