Amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, people refrained from going out and started working from home. Millions of employees' working arrangements have changed, and many may continue to work from home in some form for the foreseeable future. This research paper addresses the everyday challenges people face while working from home. To address the lack of workspace, people formed a separate working area or an integrated space with the habitable rooms. Spending the maximum amount of time indoors impacted them psychologically. Hence, there is a need to re-design the current workspace for a better lifestyle. The study attempts to establish a relationship between habitable spaces and work areas in residence.
