A safe retreat to escape everyday life, the place where you can be yourself and let creativity run wild, a reflection of your own taste, where the people who are important to you live and where memories are created. Or maybe being at home is not limited to just one place, but linked to the cities you lived in and different phases of life.
These are just a few answers on the Friday question “What does #beingathome mean to you?” An initiative run by on social media using the hashtags #zuhausesein and #beingathome. On Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, the association shares new trends and designs, German furniture manufacturers and designers and a modern and innovative take on German design in general.
Many people, including myself, have already answered the question of what ‘Being at home’ mean to us … and now it is up to you!
