How has the pandemic affected the future of design?
Despite the past year’s events, there have been silver linings. Our industry is busier than ever. We are moving past gray into color. Creativity and hope are blooming!
What changes from the past year are here to stay?
The work-from-home culture will integrate itself into our lives for years to come. Home offices are taking the place of little-used guest rooms. In future, we’ll be able to earn a living in more beautiful, better-designed environments.
Explain how entertaining at home will evolve?
We have acclimated to year-round outdoor dining and entertaining. Furnished spaces are exploding out into our yards. We’ll be adding more seating areas, landscapes and fire features to prolong the enjoyment of early spring and late fall days.
