In our most recent conversations with 20 households across five countries, the IKEA Life at Home team has uncovered the new stresses that life beyond coronavirus lockdown have created for the many. Liberated from their homes, people have been required to make new choices, face new challenges and accept – or create – new standards for themselves. And as their lives move beyond their homes’ four walls, they’re reporting a shift in their relationships with what have been their safe spaces and sanctuaries. We share all here – and provide reflection prompts to help with navigating this next phase.
