Now that we have been at home for a while it is normal to start feeling a bit restless. However, we are at home, we shouldn’t be feeling trapped but rather be enjoying ourselves. Here are some ideas to inspire a better time at home:

If you can’t go to the movies let the movies come to you: home theaters

We are all used to turning on the old laptop to watch our favorite shows and sometimes a movie or two. But when the act is so ordinary it may not always feel like you are sparing time for yourself for an ‘activity’. By dedicating a room or a corner of the house to create a home theater, you can transform ‘watching’ into a special activity. Preparing nice snacks is always a plus ;)

Falling out of your exercise habits? All you need is a free space that can motivate you:

We certainly know that the new routine we have messes up the motivation to exercise. The solution is to create a private space where you can freely move; though you can always add a treadmill or some weights you don’t need much else. What is important is to define this space as an exercise area and make sure you feel good when you are in it. Empty rooms usually tend to feel hollow. You can overcome this by adding a few acoustic panels; this way the room suddenly gains an identity and the echo will not be a problem when you hop and jump freely.

Don’t just eat-in; dine at home:

We all miss going to our favorite restaurants, but this doesn’t mean that you can’t have a restaurant-quality experience at home. Take action and change that dining room set, we all had it in mind before the pandemic anyway. Another nice addition would be simple touches on walls, like mirrored wall panels or lacquered panels for that strong modern elegance, which will level up your dining experience instantly (both acoustically and aesthetically; you wouldn’t believe how well these panels improve the conversation quality). Doesn’t sound simple? Well with Mikodam it is, as our panels are simply mounted onto a rail system attached to the walls. Your own dining room will be your favorite place to go to! And when you grow tired of it you can change the atmosphere with new panels, they all use the same rail system.

Are you into the bread baking trend?

Whether you are or not this is a great time to use the kitchen. Why not try out some kid friendly recipes, it is a great activity to keep everyone busy. Ordering in is a tasty option but it is guaranteed that cooking is an activity for some quality time, on your own or all together. To encourage yourself make sure you love being in the kitchen, transform it into a room you want to be in. Don’t be afraid to make it special!

These are only the most basic activities that come to mind. Game nights, trying out new hobbies, discovering the artsy side in you, giving yourself a spa treatment at home, writing, reading, putting on a family play, hosting a social distanced mini barbeque, dancing… there is so much we can do. Just gather everyone in the house and talk about what you expect from your home. And keep in mind if you want to transform any of your spaces instantly, reach out to us at Mikodam.com

Stay safe, stay happy
