What You Will Learn
The way we use our homes has dramatically evolved, with remote work, home gyms, and multi-generational living becoming increasingly common. As families adapt to new lifestyles, homes are expected to do more—often combining office space, guest rooms, exercise areas, and storage into a single room. Many households now require multiple workspaces, better lighting, improved connectivity, and more flexibility to support hybrid living and wellness goals.
This webinar will explore how these lifestyle shifts are impacting residential design and offer practical strategies for creating multifunctional, wellness-oriented spaces. Attendees will gain insights into space planning, flexible room design, and innovative solutions that support today’s dynamic home environments.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand how evolving lifestyle trends—such as remote work, multi-generational living, and wellness priorities—are reshaping home design needs.
- Learn strategies for effective space planning that support flexible, multifunctional rooms in response to changing homeowner demands.
- Explore wellness-focused design principles and practical solutions for creating supportive environments within the home.
