Working from home is here to stay – as is the home office. To make remote working effective and comfortable over the long term, it is essential to have space and storage in the home, which not everyone has today. When setting up a home office for regular use, it is important to plan the spaces in your home, which will become the hub of working life, social interactions, exercise and relaxation. With the right setup, anyone can work from home just as efficiently as in the office without disruption to daily tasks and routines.
The temporary changes implemented at the beginning of the pandemic have now become permanent and are impacting our lives and consequently our homes. In turn, this leads to more and greater demands on our living space. If home spaces are expected to fulfil multiple purposes, it is often necessary to have more gadgets. And ideally it should be possible to adapt the space required for more accessories to a variety of needs.
Elfa Insights is Elfa’s think tank where we investigate trends, needs and challenges related to storage. We do so by conducting consumer surveys and collecting views and insights from leading experts in the fields of architecture, sustainability, fashion, interior design and future predictions. This gives us the opportunity to delve deep into our favourite subject, storage, and inspire others to bring order, structure and harmony to their home and thus create space for important everyday things.
