Includes bibliographical references (pages 112-121) Thesis classification: F The COVID-19 pandemic led to a new normal way of life which greatly impacted the use of residential spaces. This study made an attempt to determine whether there is a need for changes and improvements in residential interior design in terms of physical and psychological needs of the end users as recommended by selected Filipino interior designers based on the COVID-19 experience. The study employed qualitative exploratory research, wherein 14 male and female Filipino interior designers were selected using purposive and snowball sampling. Participants participated through Zoom interviews (nine participants), phone interview (one participant), and through a questionnaire via Google Forms (four participants). An interview guide with open-ended questions was used for the interviews and the same set of questions was used for the qualitative questionnaire. For data analysis, a thematic analysis was employed. Results of this study indicate that participants generally had positive COVID-19 experiences in terms of home interior management and work-from-home (WFH). Home modifications made by the participants to address the physical, mental, and spiritual health issues include the promotion of sanitation and disinfection, improvement of indoor air quality, accommodation of WFH needs, utilization of technology, and provision of privacy and access to nature. Participants’ recommendations for a post-pandemic home focused on facilitation of cross ventilation, conducive work area, hierarchy of spaces, and provision of hygienic, comfortable, functional, and quarantine-friendly spaces with more access to nature. For future similar studies, the researcher recommends collection of larger sets of photos for the design recommendations made by the participants, inclusion of participants who are not interior designers, and narrowing the scope of the study.
