Being budget conscious is more important than ever, but we are also trying to get maximum value out of the space in our homes, as we enter autumn and look ahead to 2024.

Creating dynamic, multi-functional spaces enables us to do just that. A home office, snug or spare room is a perfect flexible space for dual purposes - say hello to a Hybrid Home Haven.

Wayfair’s Resident Style Advisor, Dee Fontenot, commented on the trend: -

“We're all looking for those key practical pieces that work hard but look good too. Think room dividers that double as display boards, portable cordless lamps, fold-down desks that neatly stow away, a day bed that can be both a sofa, single bed, with a hidden extra single bed for when you have guests.

As we're spending more time at home, rooms need to be adaptable to suit whatever mode you may be in - for wfh motivation and productivity, to a 'get-in-the-zone' corner that can be easily used for an online class or YouTube workout. Not only that, but with half of UK households having a cat or dog, pet-proofing a space for furry members of the family is also important. Some clever styling and thought-out product picks are key to help you create your very own Hybrid Home Haven."
