During the Covid-19 Pandemic, the interior design, architectural and home remodel industry faced a scenario of changing demands and customer preferences. At the same time, there was also a drastic transformation in the way businesses operate worldwide. Working from home has become the new way of operating in the interior design and architectural industry.

With new safety regulations, building laws, and SOPs to follow, there is huge pressure on this industry to meet the demands of clients. Protection of the employees is also an important consideration. For this reason, interior designers, architects, and remodeling businesses need to rely on a strong and effective network to facilitate working from home and other remote locations. Here are some tips on how to network during the Pandemic for interior designers and home remodelers.

  • Use of Cloud Technology
Although this technology has been around for some time its highest potential was tested during this COVID 19 pandemic. Designers and remodelers working from various locations can share information, data, plans, project details, and other design tools using reliable and effective cloud-based services. Platforms like Google Drive and Dropbox are very efficient and offer free storing and sharing features safely and securely.

  • Use of Networking Programs and Apps
There are a large number of programs and applications designed and developed to meet the networking requirements of designers and remodelers working around the world. Using apps like Splashtop you can mirror your workplace computing screens and create an environment of shared networking. Other apps like Morpholio provide online sketchbooks and rolling features that allow designers to trace and board their designs and creations on shared networks with colleagues and other major stakeholders. Programs like Microsoft Office 365 or Google G-Suite help in the creation and edition of documents, spreadsheets, and presentations shared collectively by various team members.

  • Virtual Meetings and Conferences
Communication is a critical factor for the success of any business. In interior design, architecture and home remodeling too, sharing of ideas, concepts and thoughts are essential for all stakeholders. Using various technology tools and gadgets, you can hold regular virtual meetings and conferences with customers as well as team members. No matter where in the world you are located, you can be part of an important discussion and share your views and ideas with others face to face.

Programs like Google Meet, Skype, and Zoom are reliable, effective, and secure ways of organizing and arranging such virtual meetings for your interior design, architectural or home remodeling company. Such meetings help enhance coordination and communication along with minimizing misinterpretations that might lead to inefficiencies and project failures.

  • Maintain Close Contact
Although you, your clients, and your team members might be far apart in physical terms, you need to maintain a certain level of closeness in the virtual world. Using handy online tools like Slack, you can help people integrate and share their calendars, Trello boards, and to-d lists with each other. You should remain informed about the latest happenings and track the progress of various projects and assignments. 

The tools shared above and the lessons learned during this pandemic will help to make you a better and more efficient business owner.

One portion of our homes that has been working very hard for the past year, is the kitchen. With almost every one of us spending more and more time at home, the importance of this vital essential space in the home has become even more important. Adapting to the new way of living and entertaining, the kitchens of 2021, need to serve multiple functions rather than just acting as a cooking space for the occupants.
​
People spend most of their time in the kitchen areas not just cooking but mingling with family members, working from home, taking online classes, and even in some cases entertaining close friends and guests. To make your kitchens multifunctional and adaptive to the latest lifestyle needs of the world, here are the top kitchen design trends for 2021.

Compact and Minimalistic

Using the kitchen to fulfill various needs, you need to keep it compact and streamlined. Too many objects and too much clutter here and this can restrict your movement and activities within the given space. No matter how small or big your kitchen space is, use it to maximize your efficiency and minimize the clutter. The layout should be designed keeping in mind the multifunctional role your kitchen has to perform.

Increased Storage

With lifestyles and shopping trends changing in the world, you need to stock up on food supplies and develop a household inventory. Having additional storage within your pantry in the kitchen is a must for 2021. Having one wall fully installed with cabinets and storage boxes helps enhance the storage options, reduces clutter on the counters, opens the space, and streamlines the layout of your kitchen. Tall elongated cabinets are a great way to utilize corners and small areas of your kitchen.

Islands and Sitting Areas


If your kitchen has space, having an island can double the space for work. You can use it for doing your prep work for cooking, install a hob or stove in it or simply use it for dining and working from home. Islands can also be designed to have storage space inside them for better utility. You can get several island design ideas from the world of interior designing and remodeling.

Calm Colors and Relaxing Tones


Most people love to have dark-colored cabinetry and storage in their kitchen. Matching their color schemes in two tones that contrast is very popular among homeowners. However, as the trend of staying home and working from home is increasing, interior designers suggest the use of serene colors for walls and calmer shades on cabinets. Impacting the moods and emotions of people positively, you need to reinvigorate your family space with soft and gentle hues that introduce the calming potentials in your kitchens. You can check out tips and ideas for some great color advice.

Free-Standing and Portable Furniture


A great way to utilize your kitchen effectively and increase its efficiency is by using free-standing furniture pieces here and there. Providing you additional seating capacity that can be moved around as per your needs and requirements. 

These trends can help you better develop your kitchen design this year. For more information check out our Resource Library for additional resources and marketing tips.
