由于COVID-19大流行，世界各地的政府将社区置于“封锁”之下。各种消费习惯被从其既定的环境中连根拔起，重新扎根于家庭。这种前所未有的常态重组导致国内消费的增加，因为办公室，健身房和餐馆的做法被迫进入家庭，要求购买材料并改变对家庭的期望。本文通过复杂化关于这种破坏可能缩小消费经济规模的乐观叙述，为有关COVID-19和基于实践的消费研究的文献做出了贡献。结合定性的家庭访谈，更广泛的趋势，二手数据和历史反思的变化的意义上的“家”在英国，我们揭示了如何重新扎根的制度化的做法结构的材料收购和尖峰渴望更多的国内空间。认识到专业的做法和机构已经采取了越来越重要的国内消费，与留在家里的订单模糊了家庭，工作和休闲之间的界限，我们认为，未来的研究和可持续发展政策应出席更多的做法的制度质量的结论。
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, governments around the world placed communities under 'lockdown'. Various practices of consumption were uprooted from their instituted settings and re-rooted in homes. This unprecedented reorganisation of normality resulted in increased instances of domestic consumption as practices occurring in offices, gyms and eateries were forced into homes, demanding the acquisition of materials and altering expectations of what homes are for. This article contributes to literature on COVID-19 and practice-based consumption research by complicating optimistic narratives about the potential for this disruption to downsize the consumer economy. Combining qualitative household interviews, with secondary data about wider trends, and historical reflection on changes in the meaning of the 'home' in the UK, we reveal how the re-rooting of instituted practices structures material acquisition and spikes desire for more domestic space. Recognising that professional practices and institutions have taken on increasing significance for domestic consumption, with stay-at-home orders blurring boundaries between home, work and leisure, we conclude by arguing that future research and sustainability policy should attend more to the institutional qualities of practices.
