Flexible living
Cooking in the kitchen, sleeping in the bedroom and working in the study? In 2022, this classic division will have become obsolete in some places. Fired by the pandemic, a new trend is emerging in the area of living and furnishing: multifunctionality.
We have long since become much more flexible in our everyday life and work - and thus need a home that adapts to a situationally changing environment with creative solutions. Sociologists summarise this new attitude to life under the term work-life blending, i.e. the merging of work and life, which finds its counterpart in the multifunctionality of rooms and furniture in the area of furnishing.
New flexibility is not only expected
The room must also be versatile. This requires a floor that can withstand the challenges of everyday life in any situation. Particularly suitable: Design floors that come up with a whole range of positive product features.
Vinyl with SPC core board or Modular ONE from Parador, for example, are easy to clean, warm underfoot, robust, waterproof and quiet, making them the ideal floor covering in rooms that are used for a variety of purposes. They also come in a wide range of different formats and decors from wood to stone looks and are therefore multifunctional in two respects.
Tiny house
Futurologists assume that the social trend towards new flexibility will increase in the coming years. Alternative living concepts such as Tiny Houses or Co-Living are driving this development.
