How COVID-19 Impacted Interior Design

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected various aspects of our lives, imposing an exceptional situation that we have never experienced before. The world was forced to stay at home, turning our homes into workspaces, classrooms, gyms, and recreational areas. This shift has influenced interior design trends, aiming to create functional and enjoyable environments. Here are three ways in which the pandemic has impacted interior design trends in 2020:

1. A New Work Lifestyle
Even after the lockdown restrictions were lifted, many companies and employees did not fully return to their traditional offices. Remote work became the norm for many, and some managers noticed increased productivity from employees working from home. However, those who lack suitable workspace in their homes may face challenges. Therefore, it is necessary to plan a suitable work area during home design.

2. The Importance of Uplifting Decor
Spending most of their time at home, people gravitated towards simple yet vibrant decor, replacing dark colors with ones that bring beauty and happiness to their living spaces. People started adding simple decorative touches such as indoor plants and artistic paintings, considering them as elements that breathe life into their homes.

3. Appreciating the Significance of a Home
Despite the pandemic's devastating impact, one of its advantages was making people realize the importance of their homes and interior design. People understood the significance of caring for the place where they spend most of their time with their families and the impact that attention to interior details has on the coziness and comfort of their homes.
