COVID-19 has caused people to change the way that they do a lot of things, and changes to the home were inevitable because people were spending all of their time inside. But since we've found a vaccine for the virus and people are beginning to think more about what life will be like once most people have the vaccination, you'll be interested to know that some trends are here to stay even after most people have had the vaccination for COVID-19.

Zoom Rooms

We all know that online video conferencing has become more popular as a way for extended family to keep in touch and work teams to have meetings while in quarantine. Many people have made desk spaces or a certain room in the house as the place to go when they want to make a Zoom or Skype call. Some people might have even chosen to put up a neutral background to make the space solely for video calls. Even for those who are no longer quarantining, Zoom rooms will still be part of the day-to-day norm. Video calls were the direction that people were heading anyway, and the pandemic simply pushed people toward these types of services more quickly. Some homes might only have a corner of a room that's dedicated to video calls, but most homes will continue to have those dedicated spaces.

Clean and Simple Decor

With COVID-19 spreading, people began to want less clutter to make their homes easier to clean and disinfect. The cozy yet clean vibe was also inspired because people want the places that they spend the most time in to be comfortable, but they also want those spaces to remind them of the clean and orderly. As we begin to move past the pandemic and quarantine, we'll continue with this trend because clean and cozy are often popular.

Backyard Living Spaces

Since going out to eat or to grab drinks has been out of the question during quarantine, many people have been trying to find ways to make dinner and evenings more of an event. That's why people have put more effort into creating backyard living spaces, especially when the weather is temperate. With some comfortable furniture and accessories, using the backyard or a patio area is a way to completely enjoy the areas around the home. This trend is here to stay because entertaining at home is also more economical and adds variety to leisure routines.

Open Spaces

The pandemic has even inspired some people to move out of the city and into the country or suburbs. People haven't wanted to be in crowded places with the virus around and more people are working from home. Many people not only want to get away from crowds, but they also want to enjoy a view and a backyard.
