Rental Optimization

Aiding the house-sharing boom, multipurpose decor takes precedence

Implications - Consistent vacationing in Europe is commonplace, but less so in North America where cost-effectiveness is of highest priority. As space-sharing services like Airbnb become ubiquitous and users open homes to travelers, a decrease in space is requiring residents to outfit rooms with multipurpose designs that make the most of every foot.
Trend Themes
1. Multipurpose Furniture - Designing furniture that serves dual purposes to optimize space is a growing trend.
2. Air Purification - More products with built-in air purifiers are being created to improve indoor air quality.
3. Green Energy - Innovations in green energy are being integrated into furniture design, allowing for more sustainable products.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture - Multipurpose furniture is becoming essential for consumers living in small spaces.
2. Home Appliances - Air purifiers are becoming a must-have for consumers concerned about air quality.
3. Sustainability - Sustainable furniture with the integration of green energy can pave the way for more eco-friendly solutions.
