THE FUTURE OF HOME 2030

This new decade kicked off with a quite unexpected start. 

Life as we knew it shifted forever. 

The concept of home in 2019 versus the concept of home in 2022 has completely transformed into a multidimensional space with several needs and uses. 

Oftentimes, the unknown of the future can be intimidating, but where do you feel the safest? Where is your sanctuary? Likely, it is in your home. If that wasn’t your answer, this blog will assist you in learning how you can transform your home from the mundane to a tranquil, comforting, futuristic haven. If your home was your answer, there is still much to learn about new ideas to incorporate to make the most use of your sanctuary space. 

We will discuss wellness, sustainability, design and more.

Let’s get started…

Plant a Kitchen Garden

Imagine it is a fresh, cool morning. You are in the kitchen crafting your morning tea using herbs from your very own kitchen garden.

You open the back door to go for a tranquil walk amongst your natural creations.

In your garden you grow butternut squash, peas, lettuce, thyme, rosemary, lemons and strawberries. 

You are able to create your own salads, lemonades, teas and much more. 

You are living sustainably off the land, taking pride in the deliciousness and beauty you have made right in your own home. 

Even for a busy lifestyle, a kitchen garden is a doable task. 

Do your research about different plants, seasons and maintenance. 

You can have anything from a little box of herbs to a whole garden overgrown with fresh fruits and vegetables. 

Aside from all the other benefits, gardening is a mindful task that forces our often overanxious minds to slow down and enjoy the moment. 

Protect your home for peace of mind

In the upcoming decades, health will take the center stage. How can you design protection and wellness into your home?

Health begins at home. 

In a world of worsening air quality, invest in an air purifier to ensure you inhale clean, quality air. 

On your surfaces, you can implement antimicrobial materials such as bamboo and wool. 

In your kitchen, you can implement engineered antimicrobial quartz to ensure protected counterspace. 

For home hardware such as kitchen knobs, bathtubs, etc. opt for copper and brass, as they are both antimicrobial and beautiful. 

Your front door can be fitted with an antibacterial hand cover to ensure everyone who enters your home, enters with the least amount of germs possible. 


Designing your home with Neuroaesthetics

When it comes to home design it is essential to not select furniture, art, fixtures, etc. based on trends. Rather, choose items that evoke emotion within you, bring joy, and will last. 

Your home must be designed with your emotions first and foremost in mind.

What colors, textures, scents, lights, etc. bring you the most peace, serentity and inspiration? Those are the elements that should make up your home. 

Here are some ideas: natural lighting lamps (the tone and type of light affects your brain and mood). Digital window (this will double as both a normal window where you can see the reality of what is outside as well as a digital window, where you can alter your reality to what brings you joy whether that be a swiss mountain range, a coffee shop or the night stars. 


Biophilic design 

This is the most important design concept of the future. Your design with nature in mind. Connecting yourself to nature through design. Think environmental features, natural shapes and forms, light and space, plant based, natural materials, natural light. 


What will be the most essential room of the future? Your bathroom. 

Your bathroom will be your spa, your space to relax, recharge and get well. 

Wellness in the shower. Imagine stepping into your warm shower, and not only cleansing your body, but also receiving restorative vitamin c shots in the process. This is now very possible. 

What are some essentials in designing your bathroom? Paint your walls in a sage tone, incorporate natural herbal scents, use natural fiber towels, have several potted plants that do well in moisture, have lots of natural light, add essential oils to your shower routine. If you are in the market for a modern tub, purchase a  Floatation bathtub.
