As the seasons change and fall approaches, we begin to think about spending even more time at home and a shift to cozy times spent inside. As we continue to work with clients, we have seen some fall trends for home projects this year.
Back to School
We are all thinking about our children’s e-learning this fall. Carving out and/or adding ”learning areas” where children can have their own space to be online, follow a routine, and perform their school/homework is a top priority for many families. A comfortable and specific place for schooling is helpful.
Organization
With so many of us working from home and our children home even more now, organization has never been more important! Many clients are asking for expanded or designated mudrooms with storage areas for backpacks and coats, as well as bins and drawers for hats, mittens, and gloves. When everything has a place, it's easier to stay organized.
Working from Home
Many of us never required a home office. But now, with more clients working remotely, this has become a must-have. Client needs have included but are not limited to: quiet/private areas for Zoom meetings, day-to-day working, storage for work supplies/computers, high-speed and secure networks.
Master Suite
At the end of a long day the master suite has become a true sanctuary. Our clients are requesting master suite additions and/or renovations with sitting areas, custom walk-in closets and master baths. With so much more time at home this has become increasingly popular.
Home Gyms / Yoga Studios
Many public gyms have closed or are partially open with limited class schedules. Some homeowners have had us bring the gym/studios to their homes.
In reviewing this list, it is clear that efficiency, organization, routine, and accommodations are top of mind for people. With summer behind us, looking to fall is a great time to start the planning process for any home projects that you are thinking about. Now is the best time to carve out the specific space in your home for the year ahead.
