As we isolate in our homes, we become increasingly aware of how our interior spaces affect our our ability to work from home, home school our children, relax and dine.
Interior designer Katharine Pooley, believes that the current crisis will impact how we design spaces in the future, and it is not all bad news.
In the previous article, we have shared her first five views, so today we are going to bring you another five thoughts.
TECHNOLOGY WILL NEED TO ADVANCE
Technology is in the forefront of people's minds, be it a new home office, library, media suite, recording studio or even just moving to be in an area with better 5G. All clients are realising that life has moved online and our homes need to support this.

CLIENTS WANT AN OUTDOOR SPACE
Gardens are now a huge priority for clients, they look for space for built in BBQ areas; safe play areas for their children. Place to grow vegetables in a kitchen garden. Epidemics really make us question the providence of our foods so I can see many people looking to go organic.
WE WILL LOOK AT WAYS TO INCREASE WELLBEING
In the home clients are looking to make a peaceful sanctuary, filled with objects that they love that give them happiness. I foresee a greater usage of calm, serene colours, large mirrors and organic textured finishes that help inspire a peaceful mood.
WARMER COLOURS WILL BE REQUESTED
Some rooms will be richer and warmer in tone to create a cocooning effect – aubergine, burnt orange and deep inky blues will all be popular for media rooms, home cinemas and studies.

THE INTERIOR DESIGN INDUSTRY WILL BE GIVEN ABOOST
There will be an increase in interest in interior design, as everyone looks to feather their nests with the fear of future shut downs very much in their minds. I am already seeing a surge in requests for quotations as people realise their mental wellbeing is now dependent on living in a home that is beautiful, positive, and has the capacity to sustain them when the rest of the world is closed to them.
