Whether it may be for social distancing or working from home, people can feel uncomfortable when they stay within a small space for too long. Here are some tips from designer Azby Brown on how to adapt to living in narrow and movement restricting spaces:
Change up your windows and place some decorations around them. Changing up what you see can help make you feel like you are not stuck indoors. If you need a space for undisturbed conference or video calls, you may create a little corner to serve as your “window to the outside world,” giving you a sense of freedom. Selecting suitable colors for your walls and ceilings can help make the space feel bigger. Also, the installation of mirrors and the planning of high and low-level furnishings can create the illusion of added depth in the space.

不論是居家防疫、或是在家遠距工作,長時間待在小空間裡很可能會感到壓迫不舒服。設計師Azby Brown針對如何適應狹窄、而活動空間有限的隔離生活,提出了以下幾點建議:
換掉窗框,並且在窗戶旁放置一些裝飾品。視覺上的煥然一新能讓你覺得自己沒有被關起來。需要不受打擾地進行電話或視訊會議的話,可以佈置一個專屬小角落,這個地方會讓人擁有「對外聯絡」的自由感。選擇合適的牆壁及天花板的顏色,能讓空間看起來更大。而裝設鏡子以及規劃高低層次的擺設,則可以令人產生空間感加深的錯覺。
