Modern home office | What to pay attention to?
During the pandemic, people increasingly perceive their homes or apartments as a key living space, often the only one they experience. This means that they increasingly value relaxing spaces that provide comfort and create a soothing atmosphere. Today we will present some expected trends in interior design which, in our opinion, will be increasingly visible in the immediate environment in a world dominated by the pandemic and its side effects.

1. Home office arrangement – Choose individualism in your home workplace
In today's stressful times, people increasingly perceive their houses or apartments as a key space and sometimes the only one. This makes them appreciate more relaxed, sometimes even overcrowded spaces, because such an environment provides comfort, creates a soothing atmosphere and thus somehow comforts the residents. We therefore expect that many people, thinking about what their house or apartment will look like, will now give up stiff, formal interiors that are more like museums. They will choose calm, warm décor, in which they can spend the whole day. This is confirmed by those cooperating with bihome.pl interior design studios. We note that contemporary interior design seems to be loosening up, and clients seem less interested in creating perfect spaces and are pushing the boundaries like never before.
Perhaps the most important trend of this style is a sense of individualism. The online availability of many interior designs makes us see the need to create spaces that will be truly unique. How to design your own apartment? We are looking for elements that will make a difference. A house full of treasures - old ones showing the inexorable wear and tear and the passage of time, and recent acquisitions still shiny as new. This direction gives uniqueness and creates unforgettable impressions. In such a convention we will see very individual choices based on personal taste.
What does this mean in practice? Natural and matte finishes with an emphasis on durability and timelessness. Giving up high gloss or expressive finish. The furniture will rather be a component of the appearance based on individuality, need and functionality or even multi-functionality. Rather, they will be a mixture of several styles such as Scandinavian style, modern style, boho style, Whether industrial style, and less will concern one style. But what else?
2. Home office arrangement – What kind of lighting for a home office?
Lamps and lighting for the apartment in our opinion, they are an underrated element of interior design, usually humbly devoted to functionality. Thanks to the growing popularity of the Scandinavian or industrial style, lamps have timidly left their hiding places, taking on visible, simple metal forms. Now it's time for lamps - from simple Scandinavian lamps to fancy, richly decorated ones. Lamps in gold colors, copper or brass, as well as light bulbs in stylish industrial frames - this is what we will hang above our heads. In addition, we play with light itself, along with the development of technology and the so-called smart home solutions. We adjust the color of the light to the time of day, change it as the conditions outside the window change, we use bright light when we need concentration, warm colors when we are relaxing. This trend goes perfectly with multi-functionality.
3. Multifunctionality - arranging a home office in the bedroom
Finally, something we like very much – multifunctionality. Modern spaces should perform several functions. The trend of opening the living room and combining it with the kitchen or dining room has been around for several years. Now we move on. In these difficult times, we combine the bedroom with the home office, below are some illustrations. Thanks to intelligent organization, modern open space is no longer chaos. Maximum use of space, which - even when small - can be very cozy and equally functional.
4. Home office arrangement – Wood in any form in the home office
People are starting to pay attention to the origin of the product and the materials from which it was made. Some people have learned what is behind the FSC symbol, which is increasingly appearing on products of European manufacturers. This is followed by interior design, which now focuses more on products, the materials from which they are made, their origin, taking into account care for the environment, sustainable development, durability and quality of the product and the entire interior.
Natural wood in shades from bleached to even dark is highly desirable because it adds a specific accent and texture to the interior. Vertical or horizontal scrolls on cabinets, apart from the specific texture, often bring an unexpected expression. Wooden floors create a warm atmosphere, and white-stained oak wide boards with natural wood grain patterns provide the warmth of a soft and pleasant to the touch canvas. White stained light oak is also a great idea for kitchen decor, cabinets made of this material look extremely soothing.
Rattan and wicker is reborn from the above. reason, but also because for many of us, the warmth of rattan or wicker reminds us of a carefree childhood. Nowadays we find rattan and wicker, which have evolved in exciting ways since those years, whether in chairs, tables or lighting. This is the perfect solution to balance modern and traditional styles.
In addition to traditional wood, there has also been an increased interest in new generation wood, such as laminated and glued laminated wood. Aspects related to durability and economy make these materials attractive.
Not only wood, but more broadly biophilia - a recently fashionable word, somewhat mysterious, but at the same time intuitive - generally means closeness to nature. In terms of interior design, biophilia is primarily about the surroundings of plants. Plants have a beneficial effect on our health and well-being, so let's go to the garden, forest or flower shop and bring some greenery home. The choice is so wide that everyone will find something for themselves.
5. Home office arrangement – Calming colors for the home office
Soothing and low-maintenance colors like light grays and blues appear in everything from wall and furniture colors to fabrics and accessories. We see that these soft, pretty shades provide a safe way to transition into the color of the interior, sometimes remaining as the neutrality that still dominates the color schemes of many interiors.
Recommended mood colors from the Benjamin Moore palette for 2020 include First Light 2102-70, a "delicate blush" that was named the Color of the Year 2020, or the crystalline light green AF-485, and the lavender-blue shade Windmill Wings 2067-60. The shades are used as a solid color in monochromatic tonal iterations or as accents in light or even white rooms or in a wide range of home accessories and fabrics. White and Scandinavian gray are timeless and will always have their admirers. Universal will also work white office chair Whether gray office chairs!
