We are witnessing the evolution of home and "home office" space, new solutions for more comfort when working from home and new distribution planning trends that can be taken into account in an upcoming residential interior fit out or refurbishment of an apartment.

More and more often we end up needing to provide a place for work in the living room as it is a rarity that we have one free room in the apartment. Actually, it is rather the opposite – we are always missing one.

My Design, an architecture and interior design studio, uses ESCREO whiteboard paint to design comfortable, organised and creative home offices. ESCREO conducted an interview with them to discuss applicable home office solutions and the changes in the home interior over the last two years. My Design's main focus is to serve the client. They specialise in building good relationships and on this basis they create personalised interiors. This is more than design work and this is how their expertise has evolved over the years.

They have already completed several projects in which technology has been implemented to make the home "rational". This includes not only lighting and control from a smartphone, but also completely self-made decisions taken by the appliances based on household scenarios, external influences and internal temperature, and air quality. The longer time spent at home has led to the need for increased comfort and the introduction of a "smart home" system.

When it comes to the home office spaces, the truth is that no solution is perfect. My Design shares that it is much easier to create your home office space at the design stage of a new apartment as the wiring is of great importance there and it can be a problem when you cannot control it. They also share tips on how to provide for a home office space in the living room if that is the only solution left.

"Just as we have not deprived ourselves of the comforts of the modern world, so we want to expand the field of useful materials, surfaces and useful ideas," they share. It turns out that to have it written on the wall is the easiest and most visible way for all of us. A traditional whiteboard raises some issues that whiteboard paint does not and you can still write on and wipe off as much as you would like. And the best part is that it is "fun also for us, the grown-up ones, at the same time convenient and super useful".
