During the quarantine, homes and apartments became the center of our lives. Gyms, yoga rooms, offices, places for relaxation and moments spent together with family. It's time to learn from this period and improve your interiors so that they are not only functional, but also beautiful.
We live in an extraordinary time, and the events and changes that are currently taking place also affect the interiors of our homes. We have begun to attach more importance to their appearance, as they have become the center of our lives. Balconies and gardens have become synonymous with luxury and a substitute for vacations. We want the house to be our safe oasis, to give us the best possible conditions for daily life, but also to have a positive impact on our well-being. Many trends have gained popularity faster than we expected. What will we expect from the interiors of our homes, and what changes can take place in them?

Feng-shui, a discipline that teaches how to arrange one's home, creating a perfect balance between people and their surroundings to achieve harmony, is returning to favor. The cocooning effect is also becoming desirable, that is, creating such a space around you that you feel safe and cozy as if wrapped in a soft blanket.
Home interiors are also supposed to reflect our personalities. After all, they are an important part of life, where we spend a large part of our day. We are more eager to arrange spa-like bathrooms, arrange exercise and yoga corners. We also pay more attention to gardens and balconies, which have become a place of rest for adults and play for children. In addition to plants, flowers and herbs, we also choose decorations such as rattan chairs, outdoor rugs, pillows and lanterns. All this to recreate the atmosphere of favorite holiday destinations. This way of thinking also manifests itself in interior design and decoration. We focus on calmly decorated interiors, natural materials, soft, nice-to-touch fabrics, warm colors, lots of light and vivid greenery.
home office
Recent months have shown that remote work is possible in many professions, and business meetings can also be held online. However, working in home office mode also poses challenges. The boundary between work life and private life is blurring. We don't want the home to resemble an office and be associated with work. We are also keen to maintain a balance between the two spheres.

surrounded by plants
The growing popularity of biophilia, or man's need to maintain contact with the natural world, has been observed for some time. This year, this phenomenon has accelerated even more and has begun to have a clear impact on our homes. More than in previous years, we wanted to grow mini vegetable and herb gardens, even on balconies. Indoors, meanwhile, many new plants have appeared, especially those with air-purifying properties.
