Large kitchens, apartments with a balcony and sports at home - we tell how the interior habits of people can change during the self-isolation period.
1 kitchen for cooking
Recently, in large cities, due to the too quick pace of life, the kitchen rarely uses for their intended purpose. Maximum what they do in this room - heated ready-made food in the microwave and pour tea. Therefore, often the work surface in modern apartments is minimized, as well as the amount of used equipment.
But now, when it does not always have the opportunity to order food and all the more snack out of the house, a full kitchen with an oven and a big slab becomes a necessity.
2 functional balcony
If earlier, many did not pay attention to their balcony and kept unnecessary things there, then during self-insulation, it became a place where you can breathe fresh air to admire the nature or urban landscape and distract from the alarming thoughts.
Also recently, planning without balconies have become more and more popular: some developers in principle do not provide them in their projects. However, as the insulation period showed, the balcony is a very useful room in which you can equip a place for sports, a seating area, an office study, extra storage space. Also, you can put the stroller and take a walk for young children.
3 Sports at home
Long sit at home, not moving, very difficult. Regular walks and hiking to the gym are not available, so people who are accustomed to play sports had to find a way out. Equip the area for classes was simple even in a small apartment: a rug for yoga, sports tapes and dumbbells. Also, if there is a desire, in stores you can find folding treadmills, compact models of ellipsoids and exercise bikes.In addition, it is convenient to play sports at home: there are no curious glances, you do not need to share a common shower and changing room. And with the coach, if necessary, you can contact video links.
4 partitions and rooms
Another trend of recent years - apartments in which they do not live, but only sleep. Therefore, spacious studios, combining common areas: living rooms, kitchens and dining rooms - seemed to be the right decision. Moreover, such a layout made accommodation more and more spacious.
But in such an apartment it is difficult to be all together: someone has to work, someone is preparing in the kitchen and prevents the rest of loud sounds. Insulated apartments from each other become a vital condition for a comfortable existence.
5 place for storage and reserves
Many have accustomed to buy a small amount of food and other things so that the apartment is not lit. But provided that you can easily leave the house, people have to store the essential products for a long time. Small refrigerators, small shelves, lack of additional storage sites in the kitchen or in the bathroom - what prevents reserves. Therefore, the organization of the storage room or at least the functional distribution of products with the help of containers is an excellent habit that is useful and after self-insulation.
6 Isolation from noise
Many who had to work remotely, faced the problem of not only noisy neighbors, but also distracting sounds from members of their family. It is not necessary to rush in extremes and after self-insulation to sow wall with soundproofing panels. This will cope with items that absorb the sound: carpets, curtains, upholstered furniture. Perhaps it is easy to revise the interior design.
7 Tumble dryer
Previously, you could not pay attention to the awesome underwear: you could leave the dryer in the middle of the room and go to work. But now the design takes a lot of space and prevents households. Therefore, the drying machine is a way out for many who have no place to hang clothes.8 workplace at home
After a pandemic, the likelihood that many enterprises will revise the working conditions for employees and translate them to remote work. And instead of huge offices, many will have to equip themselves at home. It should be borne in mind that while working, you will most likely have to conduct video conferencing, so the space that covers the camera becomes public space.
9 Several bathrooms
When in the apartment at the same time locked more than three family members, one bathroom is a problem. Especially if he is also combined. Therefore, in the apartment where more than four people live, the bathrooms must be somewhat.
10 private space zones
Recreation areas for each family member - the necessary solution for the apartment. This applies not only to the isolation period, but also of ordinary life. To keep good relationships with homemade, any person need from time to time to stay alone and relax.
