Today, the kids go back to the classroom, so, for many, it’s the day they get their makeshift classroom back. Many dining rooms, spare bedrooms and kitchen tables have been disrupted over the past few months in ways you could never have imagined. Indeed, many of you will still be working from home, trying to make suitable space that allows you to separate work and home life.
Interiors of homes throughout the world have been reconfigured to enable parents and their children to function 24 hours a day. It’s fair to say that houses weren’t designed for such intense and diverse use. And it’s at times like this you start to examine the house you have and how you use the various rooms at your disposal.
While it may be challenging to alter the layout of the house, it is much easier to change the furniture. We are already speaking to customers whose choices are being influenced by recent events. Functionality is now one of the primary drivers. Tables that extend and fold down easily, wall units with ample cupboard space and coffee tables that incorporate hidden storage all offer a level of additional flexibility.
Likewise, finishes are also important. Ceramic top tables offer durability that means they can cope with the rigours of home-schooling and hobby craft during the day, but also provide a pleasant dining experience in the evening.
John Dick & Son has always been an advocate of highly functional and well-designed furniture. We work with some of Europe’s leading manufacturers who also appreciate the value in flexible, practical and highly styled ranges. We have some excellent examples in the showroom; so, why not drop in and get some inspiration about how you can furnish your home in a manner that suits the demands of modern living?
