There has been dramatic reappraisal of our homes, not just as spaces for domestic life, but also for work, entertaining and relaxation. If we want to future-proof them, how best can this be done? Are comfort and function more important than style? How does the human mind dictate the way we want to live? How rational are those choices? Or are they more influenced by our memories, emotions and basic human needs? Three speakers with very different perspectives on interior design explore how our relationship with our homes has evolved over the last two years.
