Ideas to adapt the spaces of our house to the new normal

Today, many people have had to convert their houses into offices, classrooms, study rooms, and other environments due to the so-called “new normal” that forces us to stay at home to take care of our health.

However, this can bring conflicts and annoyances in the people with whom we live, since these changes alter the tranquility and order that we previously had.

And it is that as the specialist points out, “It is essential to manage our home properly and with small details so as not to jeopardize the harmony or mental health of our family”. Take note.

– Functional and cheaper lighting

Natural light is the quintessential recommendation, however; the environments during winter are darker, in addition to the fact that some spaces do not have large windows to the exterior. It is advisable to resort to LED lighting, since, in addition to saving energy, it gives us a warmer light that is less harmful to vision, increasingly affected by the excessive use of screens.

– Functional furniture

In a small room, a TV cabinet can take up space that could be better used. It is preferable to use panels fixed to a wall or racks. These also ensure that we have an adequate and healthy distance.

– Better use of space

If you only have one space available to carry out various activities, it is preferable to opt for auxiliary or mobile furniture that allows you to clear the space used when finishing the tasks and thus avoid creating disorder.

– Mirrors

Having mirrors in common areas of the home can be very convenient to generate a feeling of spaciousness in spaces, as well as allowing natural light to bounce off and the environment to be brighter.
