It happens. The romance fades. Sometimes, spending too much time together wears away at a relationship. You’re not alone though. It’s happening more than you think. You’re one of many people who are falling out of love with their home.
There was a time when you just wanted to be home, relaxing in your personal oasis. Think back to things like sitting in traffic on the way to work or going shopping, crawling along with all the other commuters. You thought to yourself, it would have been great to have stayed at home, comfy in pajamas all day. That was a heavenly image, wasn’t it?
If you were one of millions of Americans who began working from home during the pandemic, you may have found that while you love the time and cost savings of working remotely, your home is not the ideal workspace to get things done. You may have also uncovered some things you previously hadn’t noticed—or purposely ignored—from all this togetherness with your home.
It was perfectly fine before sitting on the couch or at the dining room table to get things done. It was occasional, so the lack of a dedicated home office or working space wasn’t a big deal.
How do you feel about that now? Are you frustrated with having to escape to your bedroom and sit on your bed to work or get things accomplished? Is it a daily challenge to have a video conference without worrying about your dog barking or someone wandering in and out of the room?
Maybe you’re not working, but you’d like extra room to pursue your hobbies. It would be great to leave all your supplies and tools in one place, rather than unpack them every time you want to jump in on a project.
You may be yearning for more storage space to minimize clutter and maximize living space. A bigger pantry perhaps? How about space in your garage to accommodate a second refrigerator or freezer for those “just in case” extras?
Most of all, are you finally tired enough of going up and down the stairs countless times a day? You may be one of the many people falling out of love with your home. Single-level living with a dedicated home office and plenty of storage options may be just what you need to start loving your home again.
