How the pandemic changed our homes

Hey guys, hope you all are doing very well! Have you already realized how the pandemic changed our homes and the way we get along with them? Before that we spent most part of the day far away from home, we went to work and the children to school. Many times, we went back, took a fast shower, and went out again to enjoy some leisure moments. Our home was practically a sleeping room.

Today, everything has been changed and getting out of home became an exception. The whole family got to share spaces, that, before, were always empty. The job has invaded the privacy of our home, which, many times, were unprepared for change. Those little repairs that before we neglected, now it bothers us.

After too long time confined, we modified our way of thinking. We get starting to valuate simple things that before the went through unperceived, like a hug and the unpretentious living with our friends. Everything turned upside down, is not that, my folks?

A new living way

All this madness changed drastically our conception of home, if before people preferred to live in big centers, next to work, in smaller apartments, now the cozy and practicality become order words.

Today the home of dreams is bigger than before, with more private space instead of immense areas of shared leisure. Apartments need to have study spaces for children, leisure, an appropriate little corner to work out, and, of course, a good home office.

With the meetings breaking into our intimacy, we get through to cherish our privacy and invest in a home office more suitable to this new demand. By the way, here in the blog, I have already posted a guide on how to set a functional home office.

This urgent necessity has made those reforms during the pandemic period got to rise and the builder companies got started reviewing their dwelling projects.

Bigger contact with nature

The searching for bigger contact with nature also is another point that got importance, yards, and balconies full of plants have become desire objects. You all know that I love to put the green color at home, is not it? It brings life to ambient and much coziness. As I have already written here, you can create beautiful gardens in any space. Take it and do watch the video below with tips on how to decorate with plants.

Furthermore, those who can, are moving away to smaller cities, where the live is calmer and have further proximity with the environment. A trend totally different from what we were used to.

Domestic automation

Another thing that comes growing up a lot is domestic automation, once we need more practicality in our daily. There is a prediction thar this kind of service up to 20% until 2023 in Brazil. The called Internet of Things (IoT) come to stay. Temperature sensors that control conditioning-air, coffee machine which get the coffee ready in right rime, fridge that inform when there is something needs to be replaced, controlled vacuum cleaner from distance, everything to make our life easy.

Definitely, Jetson Family era has come our home!

Along the history, the humanity got modifying its way of living also related to home. Now we are toward to other change that, like all, can be a little uncomfortable at beginning, but little-by-little we get adapting and finding a format which better adjust itself to our lifestyle.

What matter is that home keeps being our redoubt of peace and harmony, a space that modifies itself, but neve lose it essence and welcoming, a place where we write the own history and collect good moments.
