How has remote work affected HomeVitality priorities in households?​

With more people working from home,I've been thinking about how our priorities around "HomeVitality" – basically,creating a healthy and supportive home environment – have shifted. It seems like things that were once lower on the list are now much more notable.

For example, good air quality used to be a nice-to-have, but now that we're spending considerably more time indoors, air purifiers and better ventilation are becoming essentials. Similarly, ergonomic setups aren’t just for the office anymore. People are investing in better chairs, desks, and lighting to avoid strain and discomfort while working at home full-time.

Beyond just physical health, I wonder if the focus on mental and emotional wellbeing within the home has also increased. Things like creating dedicated relaxation spaces, investing in plants for a sense of calm, or even just decluttering to reduce stress might be higher priorities now. Has anyone else noticed changes in what they prioritize to improve their home life since transitioning to WFH?
