Creativity and sustainability in design and architecture are becoming of a greater importance nowadays. Hence, it is important that more and more people are aware of the opportunities that new technologies can provide them. More and more often we hear people talking about a smart home. "Technologies of the future", "autonomy" and "smart devices" sound a little scary for some.

Maybe watching more sci-fi movies makes us afraid of technology instead of making us embrace it, while curious and open to changes in the first place. Ideally, it could make us more adaptable and at the same time more creative. This is why ESCREO have prepared an article in collaboration with My Design to share more on the role of innovation in the pursuit of sustainable development.

You can read the full article at https://escreo.com/uk/blog/mydesign-functional-paints-creativity-to-smart-home-spaces/ to find out what "smart home" actually means, ?how the smart home system works and what is the role of innovation in the pursuit of sustainable development as home automation could also help reduce our carbon footprint and you will learn how that can be done.

As you will also learn, this can be done technologically - by integrating a variety of sensors (for indoor air quality, carbon monoxide and dioxide, proper lighting, temperature, etc.), as well as by integrating more innovative interior solutions - the use of carbon-neutral writable whiteboard paints, also such with magnetic properties or even interior paints that purify the air.

Over the last two years, the dynamics of the home and workplace have changed in the wake of the pandemic, where interior design has evolved to accommodate the so-called ‘new normal. The rise of the home office and necessity of social distancing has highlighted the need for an environment that is both comfortable and functional.
These new design trends will continue into 2022, with a few new flavours coming into play. So, what are the trends that we have seen over the last year, which ones will carry over into next year? ESCREO’s new article covers the continued strive towards equilibrium between form and function, and how writable whiteboard paint is a fantastic tool to achieve it.

Writable whiteboard paint is a fantastic tool. No matter what your interior design choices are, having writable surfaces can transform any room while still keeping the overall approach and aesthetic.
Imagine using white whiteboard paint in working areas or your kitchen to make lists and keep yourself organised, or clear whiteboard paint on your colourful walls for that extra touch. Or, if you want to pin up pictures, notes and decorations, magnetic whiteboard paint is there to do the job.

Cachè Atelier, a leading architectural and interior design studio, utilises ESCREO whiteboard paints in their office fit out and refurbishment projects to improve functionality, creativity and personalisation. Over the years they have realised many office space projects together. This is how they have proven themselves that ESCREO whiteboard paint products have been best serving their needs when it comes to writable surfaces in office fit out and refurbishment projects.

Cachè Atelier has realised a number of sustainable creative office fit out and refurbishment projects in their own distinctive style. What differentiates them from other interior design studios is that they believe that every company is different and so are their office design projects. They do not make a universal office space to work for every client. They find out how the company’s business works and what its team needs in order to offer an individual solution.

"The office has to offer a suitable environment to the people and their needs at all times. This is the most important."

According to them, the most important thing for an office is its functionality, it should best serve the interests of the company and meet its needs, not just look good. This is why they always look for a balance between looking and working well in their office fit out and refurbishment projects.

We are witnessing the evolution of home and “home office” space, new solutions for more comfort when working from home and new distribution planning trends that can be taken into account in an upcoming residential interior fit out or refurbishment of an apartment. More and more often we end up needing to provide a place for work in the living room as it is a rarity that we have one free room in the apartment. Actually, it is rather the opposite – we are always missing one.

My Design, an architecture and interior design studio, uses ESCREO whiteboard paint to design comfortable, organised and creative home offices. ESCREO conducted an interview with them to discuss applicable home office solutions and the changes in the home interior over the last two years. My Design's main focus is to serve the client. They specialise in building good relationships and on this basis they create personalised interiors. This is more than design work and this is how their expertise has evolved over the years.

They have already completed several projects in which technology has been implemented to make the home “rational”. This includes not only lighting and control from a smartphone, but also completely self-made decisions taken by the appliances based on household scenarios, external influences and internal temperature, and air quality. The longer time spent at home has led to the need for increased comfort and the introduction of a “smart home” system.

When it comes to the home office spaces, the truth is that no solution is perfect. My Design shares that it is much easier to create your home office space at the design stage of a new apartment as the wiring is of great importance there and it can be a problem when you cannot control it. They also share tips on how to provide for a home office space in the living room if that is the only solution left.

"Just as we have not deprived ourselves of the comforts of the modern world, so we want to expand the field of useful materials, surfaces and useful ideas." they share. It turns out that to have it written on the wall is the easiest and most visible way for all of us. A traditional whiteboard raises some issues that whiteboard paint does not and you can still write on and wipe off as much as you would like. And the best part is that it is "fun also for us, the grown-up ones, at the same time convenient and super useful."

Teachers of all age groups can agree on one thing and that is that keeping students engaged, energised and interested is a never-ending battle – especially in today’s world of smartphones and social media. But the question is what can teachers do about it?

Well, it seems that whiteboards are making something of a comeback! The answer may lie in writable walls at school. It’s not uncommon to see boardroom meetings ditching the digital and using writable surfaces, so it stands to reason that schools would follow, too.

Writable walls can benefit students and teachers in many ways, including more engagement of mind and body, collaboration creation, an extra tool for teachers and it’s just more fun. ESCREO's article on how to use writable walls at school looks at all these benefits of writable walls in more detail.

You can read the full article to discover these together with some great ideas for teachers here: https://escreo.com/uk/blog/writable-walls-schools-classroom-ideas/

Let ESCREO help students get taught
The listed ideas are just the tip of the iceberg of how writable walls at school can enhance your teaching environment. And, convincing management shouldn’t be too hard either! Application is super-easy and comes with very little hassle – and once the writable walls are up, students will quickly spread the word to their friends.

You can choose from a range of options including ESCREO's whiteboard paint, clear whiteboard paint, or even magnetic whiteboard paint for even more interactive learning.

So you’ve decided that it’s time to turn your workplace or home surfaces into writeable ones – that’s awesome! Get ready for a whole new world of fun, productivity and creativity. But, with the different options to choose from, you might be wanting a little more information to help you make your choice.
One of the most common questions people ask is whether they should use whiteboard or chalkboard paint – and which one is better. You can compare them based on a couple of different criteria and some of them are the following:

- How they look
- How they are applied
- How they are cleaned
- Where they are located
- Will it have glare?
- Does it cause allergies?

You can find the answers to all these questions in a quick article comparison between whiteboard paint and chalkboard paint on ESCREO's blog section at https://escreo.com/uk/blog/chalkboard-whiteboard-paint-comparison-alternatives/.

And the conclusion is whiteboard paint for the win! Unlike chalkboard paint, it won’t leave dust or residue when cleaning and comes with the added bonus of giving you the opportunity to choose whether you would like it white or clear.

ESCREO’s recommended chalkboard paint alternatives:

White whiteboard paint
With our whiteboard paint you can turn any smooth surface into a writable, dry erase area for offices, schools, homes, gyms, staff rooms, playrooms and any other area you can get creative with a pen in. This is our most popular chalkboard paint alternative.

Clear whiteboard paint
Our transparent whiteboard paint is a clear dry erase paint that turns surfaces into a write on-wipe off whiteboard while retaining the original colour of the surface – great for creative offices and colourful rooms.
