The global pandemic had brought the world under lockdown. Before the COVID era, homes used to be one of the many spaces people occupied in the rhythms of the day. But now, we are spending every minute of every day inside our home.

The experience of a lockdown is bound to impact the way people look at their homes. This change of perception can lead to permanent changes in the way we design [https://www.lovehappensmag.com/blog/2020/07/06/architecture-post-covid-19-what-is-the-future-of-architecture/ future homes post-COVID].

1. Open Spaces 
The most important change we can expect to see in future homes after COVID is the addition of open or outdoor-like spaces. People have realized the need for an [http://blog.arcedior.com/outside-is-the-new-inside-2019-trends-in-outdoor-living/ open space] that allows them to take in the sunshine and fresh air. A small balcony, porch area, or a courtyard where they can enjoy an ‘outing’ experience will be one of the biggest changes in future home architecture.

2. Need for a Calm and Relaxing Environment 
The use of lighter colors gives the impression of spaciousness and creates a calming environment. When staying indoors for a long time, owners of future homes will prefer the use of light colors and calming hues in their home décor. This gives the impression of an expansion of space and 
relaxation even in a small room.

3. Inclusion of An Office Space 
Working from home is the new normal and could well be the norm in the future. This has woken homeowners to the need for permanent office space in their homes. The future home architecture will need to incorporate well-designed office spaces instead of temporary corners in a room.

4. Healthier Spaces with Anti-microbial Surfaces 
One of the biggest impacts of COVID on home design has been the focus on health and hygiene. People are now more aware of anti-microbial and germ-resistant materials for flooring and surfaces. Preference is being given to materials that prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Home designs in the future will include the use of materials that are easy to clean and disinfect.

5. Home Automation and Smart Appliances 
Even before COVID, modern home designs had begun to incorporate the latest technologies. Designs with motion-sensing doors, voice-controlled lights, and self-cleaning toilets are not common but are seen around the world. But home designs post-COVID will use smart appliances and technology that reduces the use of manual / button controlled devices for hygiene.

6. Use of Multi-purpose Furniture 
The impact of COVID will also be felt in furniture design as much as home design. When forced to live through the whole day confined in their homes, people look for innovative ways to accomplish all their daily activities in the same space. Future homes post-COVID will include multi-purpose furniture that takes up lesser space and maybe in used in different ways.

7. Aseptic Materials and Home Décor 
The future of homes after COVID includes the use of a variety of [https://architecturesideas.com/unique-materials-for-room/ aseptic materials] – especially in bed linens and other pieces of home décor. One of the most popular materials is the copper and zinc infused linen for bed sheets and pillow covers. The use of copper and zinc ions in the fabric of bed linen prevents the growth of pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi that can cause infections.

The future of homes after COVID 19 entails the inclusion of many architectural features and changes in décor that were not considered important earlier. The future home architecture will aim to incorporate contingency measures and open areas that make homes more livable in such situations.
