How has the layout of living rooms changed in Covid-19?

• Earlier, you used to decorate your living room to make it look presentable. This has changed extensively in this pandemic. Several other pieces of furniture need to be laid out along with sofa sets, tea tables, chairs, and wooden cabinets.
• Living rooms were mostly used for guest interactions before this pandemic began. Then again, covid-19 has transformed the purpose altogether. Now, you have to make space in your living room for work from home set up, online schooling set up for your kids, and even space for indoor exercise.

All these need to be accommodated if you have a shortage of space in your home.

What are the essentials that need to be kept in the entrance of the living room?

The Government has sanctioned stringent regulations about staying at home always except for emergencies. So, abide by that if you don’t want the virus to make its way to your living room. A checklist for essential items you should keep near the main door is given below –

1. Keep a sanitizer at your hand’s reach so that you can use it before you step inside the room after having touched railings and other non-disinfected outdoor items.

2.  Keep a face mask along with the sanitizer so that you are alarmed to wear it every time you have to step out.

3. Keep a small shoe rack near the entryway so that you can remove your footwear before you step inside.

4. Lastly, if you have an online delivery, then either tell the delivery boy to wear gloves while he hands the item to you or ask him to keep it on the floor. The latter is an easier option as you can disinfect the parcel and bring it inside the living room.

Naturally, you and your family members will spend a lot of their unwinding time on the sofa watching TV. So, you don’t want to bend their neck or suffer from neck pain. Hence, we advise you to use the television as the centerpiece and arrange the sofas around it accordingly.

2.    Rearrange your sofa set –

It is an isolation period and you all are stuck at home. So, it is very likely that family members will spend a lot of time catching up and snacking together. So, arrange the sofas in a way that you are face to face with other members so that there is direct interaction.

3.    Divide the space for multi-purpose activities –

Your home is no longer just a home. It is your office, your kids’ school, your workout area, and even your conference room. So, follow these easy steps to make sure you use the space in the living room to a maximum level –

• Shift all the furniture against the walls so that there is a little open area for you to do yoga and light workout sessions.
