If there’s one thing the pandemic home quarantine has made people realize, it’s the importance of a living space that can accommodate any and every activity, such as eating, sleeping, relaxing, exercising, and working.
This versatility in both new and existing living spaces “that can adapt to change” is the future of interior design, at least according to interior designer Chat Fores.
“We have to adapt and we have to adjust,” Fores says in a webinar called, “The Future of Architecture and Interior Design: Reshaping Our Cities, Buildings, and Homes” hosted by Enderun Colleges, which also coincides with the launch of the school’s College of Architecture and Design. “We have to make our spaces more functional and more efficient without having to sacrifice the main purpose of our house, which is for us to relax and for us to bond with our family. We have to put all these functions together.”
An easy way to do this is through what Fores mentions as transformer-type furniture or “furniture that can likewise adapt to change.” Also called smart furniture, these pieces are common solutions for saving space and maximizing any area of the house.
