The coronavirus pandemic or Covid-19, has brought consequences at all levels, especially health and economic, but also at the social level.

The confinement that we had to comply with, brought the concept of teleworking, something that in Spain was not very common and with it the need to enjoy other types of spaces and comforts in our homes, in which we spent much more time than before.

The new work and leisure customs have made the demand for buying and renting away from the large urban centers towards the periphery. Garden, common areas, a terrace or glazed balcony are valued much more today than the proximity to the office in a flat in the middle of the city, for example.

For this reason, the reforms that we will see the most in 2021 will be marked by the Covid-19 crisis and the deficiencies that it has uncovered in homes.

Spaces for teleworking

Teleworking has come to Spain to stay. There are many companies that have realized its advantages will never go back. Workers have to adapt their homes to this new reality.

The reforms to create areas in the house specially enabled for this purpose are a trend in the world of interior design this 2021.

For those who have enough space to dedicate a room for an office, where the most requested are modern, functional and well-lit spaces, either with natural or artificial light and few details to avoid distractions. The straight lines in the furniture, shelves on the wall, storage drawers and playing with different heights to optimize spaces is the most demanded.

If it is about adapting a space within the room, the most important thing is to take advantage of every inch of the space and use elements that represent a separation or contrast with the rest of the room.

When the house has outdoor space, something that is being used a lot is the outdoor offices or backyard offices, adapting the space with vegetation or dividers to avoid distractions, creating an adequate space for productivity.

Wide and integrated spaces

After so many hours at home, we realize that dark corridors and narrow rooms create stress. Another trend in home renovations is tearing down walls to create more spacious, bright, integrated and multifunctional spaces.

Joining the living room with the hall or with part of the main corridor, or the kitchen with the dining room, will be one of the most important renovation works in 2021.

The most common thing in many homes is to make the two main rooms come together in one, for those who spend a lot of time in the kitchen do not miss anything of the rest of their family life.

Aesthetically and architecturally, eliminating partitions is the best solution to gain light in rooms and environments, generating spaciousness.

Bars or islands are the most used to divide rooms after knocking down partitions.

Reform the bathroom

The bathrooms are also among the most renovated in 2021.

Renewing taps, tiles and toilets will complete the reform of our home, since it is not only a space for hygiene, but also for relaxation.

Changing the bathtubs for shower trays, minimalist decoration and light colors with a certain contrast will give the final touch to our home.

It seems that this 2021 the fight against the coronavirus is won but it seems that the feeling that the house is the main and safest place for families will be difficult to change.

Taking care of all these details in the distribution of a home is a custom that will no longer change.
