Set Your Home Office Space Up Right With The Best Blinds

At the start of the UK lockdown, nearly 50% of people in employment were asked to work at home. We spent 12-18 months turning dining tables, bedroom side units or even our laps into offices. Zoom calls with digitally enhanced backgrounds and half-dressed uniforms became the norm. And, it seems that this home working situation may be sticking around for longer. Of the UK’s 50 biggest employers, nearly all of them had no plans to ask their workers to return to the office on a full-time basis. In response to this, the need for home offices has increased significantly and so is the need to find practical and effective ways to boost productivity while you get through the latest items on your To-Do list.

2020 – The Year Interior Design Changed

2020 has been a year like no other. We’ve spent more time at home than ever before, become more ingrained in the lives of our families and had more restrictions put on us than ever before. The home has been transformed from just a space where we slept into one where we work, exercise, relax and even learn. For this reason, and many more, interior design preferences have seen shifts in trends that could never have been expected. And these have, in turn, had an impact on the items we purchase for our homes and how we use them. This blog will take a look at 2020 and how this year has changed interior design.
