Let’s accept the fact that post pandemic life – at home or at the workplace – will not be the same again. So, it will do us all a lot of good if we can adapt to this new normal and introduce design features in our home and office to make it a better and healthy place.
Ideas for a healthy home
- Furniture flair
Choose your furniture with extra care. Design consultants caution against buying furniture made of engineered wood because it is cheaper than those made of teak or costlier wood. Engineered wood by itself is not harmful. However, the chemical called formaldehyde, a Volalite Organic Compound (VOC) used to glue the furniture parts together, is toxic. It is safer to go in for furniture made of solid wood with no use of chemicals whatsoever.
Work from home (WFH) means spending longer hours on the laptop or digital devices. Ergonomics is a significant aspect of our comfort in these times so we do not end up with back pain or carpal tunnel syndrome from uncomfortable typing posture. Plan the desk and chair height as well as the height of the computer screen. Turn your home office nook into a comfortable and fun place to work out of stress-free.
- Wall call
Wall colours add vibrancy and life to our living spaces. These days, paint companies offer a varied choice of colours and textures that are without any toxic compounds that contaminate the air. What’s more, you don’t have to wait before moving into the home or room because these wall colours dry up pretty fast too. Innovative textures like the Venetian plaster are made totally from all-natural lime and marble dust. It is not only durable but also is free of toxins or odours, absorbs carbon dioxide in the air, regulates humidity and is easy to clean.
- Right light
Natural light from the windows and ventilation are good to keep you and your family healthy. So, key these into your home design. Open up the windows and let the sun in wherever possible. If you spend a lot of time at your desk, go in for a table lamp that focuses down on your work and is not too bright or emits heat. LED lights are durable and are cooler for the home.
Invest in an air purifier to cleanse the indoors of any toxins. There’s one for each room depending on the size.
For a healthy office
- Distant bays
Now that it’s all about sensible distancing, it’s wise to retrofit or make changes around the workplace. Move desks apart, add glass dividers or higher screens to maintain distance in the work stations or bays. Since video conferencing will be the new norm, taking your group calls outdoors will be prudent. Offices that have large balconies or porticos can now make full use of them and install a single large screen for the conference calls.
- Pure plant
Introduce indoor plants around the office. Not only do they add freshness and beauty, they also purify the air. Since the use of air conditioners in closed spaces is taboo, plants are your go-to solutions to keep the office naturally cool. Some plant varieties like the ficus, rubber, pothos ivy and peace lily emit more oxygen, absorb the carbon dioxide and toxins, and purify the air. They are easy to grow and are low maintenance too.
- Beauty breaks
Everybody needs a coffee break. Automatic, touch-free coffee and tea vending machines are the latest on the catering block. Employees need to download the app and instruct the machine to pour out the beverage. And yes, each one brings their own coffee mug – this way there’s no wastage of paper cups and employees maintain personal hygiene.
