Over the past year, vacation homes\u2014particularly lake homes\u2014have become much more than just a place to escape for a relaxing weekend. Since the pandemic took hold, more and more homeowners have decided to give up city living and retreat to a lake home full-time or make their existing lakeside vacation property their co-primary residence<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tranquil, comforting, and connected to nature, these soothing lake-based sanctuaries offer a peaceful alternative where families and empty-nesters alike can safely work, learn, entertain, and embrace life to the fullest during these challenging times. In turn, this new movement has inspired lake-home owners to re-invent their spaces to meet the functionality demands of our \u201cnew normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

What do we need now? Chicago interior designer Michelle Rohrer-Lauer, founder of Michelle\u2019s Interiors<\/a> and owner of her own lake home retreat in Wisconsin on Lake Camelot, shares her wisdom, innate sense of style, and conviction that every home should embrace the spirit of the people who live there.<\/p>\n

Here are her tips on how you can amp up the functionality of your interior\u2014and exterior\u2014lake spaces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optimize Your Home Office<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur homes have always been our safe places away from the stresses of the day, but COVID has eroded some of that sanctuary feeling,\u201d says Michelle. \u201cMore than ever, our homes are where we work, which brings that stress in through the front door. Yes, we need home offices\u2014and learning spaces for our children\u2014and those must be carefully designed to make long sessions comfortable, organized, and productive,\u201d she notes.<\/p>\n

Aesthetically, your home office style and its furnishings should always reflect the design incorporated throughout your home. For instance, if your home embodies a rustic farmhouse vibe, consider implementing knotty and imperfect repurposed wood flooring and dramatic ceiling beams. Pair this look with the rich patina of elegantly finished custom cabinetry, desks, and storage units for a visually satisfying contrast.<\/p>\n

Next, make sure your office is Zoom-ready with the right equipment and lighting. Since video conferencing is now our primary connection to clients and co-workers, we\u2014as well as our home offices\u2014need to be dressed for success.<\/p>\n

Beyond a great camera, microphone, and a comfortable chair, we want our workspace to look appealing, professional, and uncluttered. \u201cTask lighting is important for reading, and your computer monitor should be positioned to avoid glare from a window or overhead light,\u201d Michelle recommends.<\/p>\n

Soundproofing, storage, and concealing all your cords are other factors to consider when planning your personal home office. For more tips and home office eye candy, visit Michelle\u2019s Interiors<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jump Start Your Home Gym<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With all the time we spend sheltering in place these days, working out at home has become necessary for burning off stress and staying fit. While we love to exercise outdoors, a home gym is often the easiest option when we\u2019re super busy, or the weather is bad.<\/p>\n

What are the must-haves for an aesthetically pleasing and inspiring home gym? \u201cBright lighting is number one,\u201d says Michelle. \u201cEvenly spaced recessed lighting and lots of natural light can make us feel more energetic\u2014which equals a better workout.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other key essentials include a wall of mirrors to magnify the light and make a space look larger, an interlocking rubber floor, mats, or other cushioned surface for comfortable floor workouts and noise suppression, plus acoustical tiles and sound-proofed walls to create a quieter workout.<\/p>\n

A TV monitor creates a great distraction while you burn calories and brings an element of luxury and value to your home gym. You can listen to your favorite music, binge-watch a Netflix<\/a> series, or live-stream a motivating fitness program.<\/p>\n

Plenty of smart storage solutions will ensure exercise equipment and towels are conveniently stowed away yet still within easy reach. \u201cAn eco-friendly water dispenser is also handy and cuts down on plastic bottles,\u201d notes Michelle. \u201cEveryone can fill up their reusable bottles\u2014and you know how important that is to me! I am always thinking of ways to help people live greener lives at home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take It Outside! \u2014 Design Your Alfresco Dream Kitchen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We all love to cook and dine outdoors these days\u2014especially while enjoying the beautiful scenery surrounding our lake homes. After spending more time in open-air environments than ever before, we now crave the same luxuries and amenities outside as we do indoors. \u201cAn outdoor kitchen extends your food prep and dining space substantially\u2014and it requires careful planning,\u201d says Michelle.<\/p>\n

Key considerations to discuss before launching a project include lifestyle, location, the traffic pattern between your indoor and outdoor kitchen, layout, and the type of appliances desired and placement.<\/p>\n

When designing outdoor spaces for her clients, Michelle approaches it the same way she would for the interiors. How will you use the space, and what is your preferred aesthetic? Do you want to incorporate comfy seating and cozy focal points such as a built-in fireplace or firepit? \u201cRegardless of your style and how you use your backyard, the exterior should be a natural extension of your interior style so that it flows effortlessly in both directions,\u201d she sums.<\/p>\n

Perfectly Pet-Friendly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not surprisingly, pet adoption has been on the rise since COVID-19, as many of us are feeling isolated and in need of a comforting companion. Integrating pet-friendly design into your lake house not only benefits our furry friends but also makes care and maintenance easier and less time-consuming\u2014which ultimately makes us happier, right?<\/p>\n

\u201cPet design, particularly organizational solutions, makes your home more functional and enjoyable for you and your new best friend\u2014or friends,\u201d says Michelle. \u201cThe way you plan a house influences a dog\u2019s behavior and spirit, and good design makes pets feel cared for and content,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

Some of her go-to solutions? Multi-purpose pet showers are perfect for your laundry area or mudroom. Having your dog wash near an exterior door is the ideal location\u2014no more muddy or snowy paws tracking all over the house! Whether you choose a floor-level or counter-level shower, a flexible goose-neck faucet will help direct the flow of water wherever you need it.<\/p>\n

Plenty of storage is also key. Pull-out bins for pet food, treats, and built-in bowls are easy to access\u2014and hide\u2014and other essentials such as leashes, medications, and brushes can be stashed inside designated drawers in the same area.<\/p>\n

\u201cPet doors are a great way to give your cat or dog the freedom to go outside for business or pleasure, or to access a litter box in the basement,\u201d shares Michelle. \u201cSome can be monitored remotely via a smartphone, and others work in sync with a sensor attached to your pet\u2019s collar so they only open for your pet\u2014not the neighborhood skunk or raccoon,\u201d she laughs.<\/p>\n

Want to dive into some lake home updates of your own? Start by reimagining your rooms, considering your individual lifestyle, family needs, and how you want to live in your space. After all, your surroundings are the backdrop of your life\u2014and your home is a personal expression of who you are and the place where you feel your best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

I was quickly immersed in Southern culture when I moved to Birmingham, Alabama, and became a writer and editor for Southern Accents Magazine at Time Warner. The lavish interiors and grand architecture of the region inspired me to study interior design while working as an editor. Today I am a lifestyle journalist, editor, brand strategist, and communications specialist with more than 25 years of experience managing and producing content for magazines, books, digital, television, and sales\/marketing\/PR assets.
