We spend a great deal of time in our homes. We work, play, sleep and lounge in our homes, spending hours each day with our families, friends, and loved ones. For many of us, time spent at home has only increased since the pandemic. We rely on our homes to be healthy places where we can feel safe and be safe. How healthy your home is depends partly on its design. Good indoor air quality, sufficient light, a comfortable temperature - all of these features are controlled by the way your home is designed. You can make your home a healthier space by making intentional design choices during your next home construction or remodel. To make this happen, start by creating a goal. Know which features are important to you, and talk to your contractor about these features during the design phase. Aligning yourself with a professional Connecticut contractor that knows how to create wellness at home through design is important.

Home offices became one of the most important rooms of the house during the pandemic. Although many companies have called their workers back into the office on a part-time basis, hybrid positions are still common. Many people work fully from home, and an even larger percentage of people work part-time from home. Having the right work space for your job is important. A good home office will be comfortable as well as functional, with space for your work items as well as personal items. If you're working out of an uncomfortable nook in your home or even doing your work from the dining room table, then there are many things you can do to make your work day more productive and your work time more enjoyable. Making changes like carving out a dedicated work space, creating a peaceful work environment and installing high-tech features can help make your workday more pleasant and enjoyable.

Nothing says luxury like an in-home custom made theater. This built-in entertainment keeps the kids happy, gives you something to do on a quiet Saturday night, and makes your home the best place to entertain groups of friends. You're a football fan? Watch the big game in your home theater. Like to curl up and watch the television in the evenings? Do it in style in your home theater room. Home theaters are unique spaces that need custom design in order to be most effective. Everything from the dimensions to the furniture to the type of equipment in the room must be carefully chosen to ensure an optimal experience.
