Home Design Ideas that Promotes Togetherness

Our world’s current circumstances amidst the COVID-19 pandemic have probably caused you to stop and consider your home’s design, especially if you’re cooped up with numerous family members. Are you bumping into one another often? Has there been more mess-making than you thought humanly possible? Does everyone seem to be distant, even though you’re under the same roof? If you’ve been pondering how to make the most of life under a stay-at-home order, here are some tips to help promote togetherness and help you enjoy the people you’re quarantined with!

Set Boundaries

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so even in a home where you are consciously trying to promote family togetherness, be sure there’s an adult only area and a kid space specifically for play. Having areas where individual family members can retreat will make them that much more refreshed and excited to come together later.

Seating for All

Having a spot that feels like it’s meant just for you is comforting, no matter how young you are, so make sure the rooms your family gathers in are complete with low furniture for the kiddos. 

Display the Artwork

If you have kids, you undoubtedly have been flooded with a deluge of their artistic creations since they’ve been home. Embrace their creativity by framing their work and displaying it around the home. You’ll celebrate their work, and once this is all over, you’ll have a cool snapshot of what quarantined life looked like.

Add Tranquility

There’s nothing like being cooped up in your home for days on end to appreciate the need for hygge, the Danish idea of coziness, in your home design. In lieu of going out for an unessential shopping trip, pull in elements you already have to the room the family gathers in the most: extra throw pillows and blankets, a diffuser, candles, and your coziest area rug. 

 

No matter how long social distancing remains a part of our everyday life, making little changes around the home to promote family togetherness will be choices you’ll always be glad you made. And if in the future you realize a move may be something in your family’s best interest, contact Beltmann and let the professionals make your transition to a new home seamless.
