Focal Kitchen or Bust

Traditional kitchens are replaced with modern kitchen concepts

Implications - Modern kitchen concepts have become so unique, you'll never order take-out again. Some concepts include pod designs, luxury-branded (Porsche) kitchens and funky design elements like aquariums. Design quality becomes integral in the search for originality in interior design, while some city dwellers are concerned with efficient use of space, bundling kitchens into compact, contained units or omitting kitchens entirely to maximize living space in small quarters.
Trend Themes
1. Personalized Design - Consumers are yearning for more personalized designs in their kitchens.
2. Flexible and Space-saving - Consumers are concerned with space-saving and efficiency when it comes to kitchen designs.
3. Simplified Designs - Simplistic product designs often convey ease of use to consumers as they do not overwhelm users with too many functions.
Industry Implications
1. Interior Design - Design quality becomes integral in the search for originality in interior design.
2. Home Appliances - Companies who create products that can be used or featured within kitchens will continue to gain popularity.
3. Real Estate - Small-space living trends will become more prevalent as consumers choose to forego traditional kitchens in exchange for maximizing living space.
