Compact Chore

Home appliances used to do chores are redesigned to work with lack of space

Trend - Brands are revamping the design of products that are being used to carry out daily chores with spatial restrictions in mind. From dishwashers to cooking and beyond, these offerings allow consumers to efficiently maximize the micro-spaces they live in.

Insight - Population growth in large cities and the increasingly high standard of living, which affects affordability, has resulted in many consumers having to make thoughtful alterations within their homes. Those who live in small places in metropolitan areas are prioritizing compact solutions for functional and smart storage products, in order to be more comfortable and less claustrophobic at home.
Workshop Question - How can your brand accommodate consumers that are affected by shifts in the economy?
Trend Themes
1. Compact Appliances - Brands are designing products that can carry out daily household chores efficiently in small living spaces.
2. In-counter Design - The integration of appliances such as stovetops and washing machines in counters saves space and maximizes functionality in small places.
3. Minimalistic Appliances - Appliances offering functionality for a minimal number of items are becoming prevalent, saving space in small living spaces.
Industry Implications
1. Home Appliances - The home appliance industry is on the rise with an emphasis on efficient compact design.
2. Real Estate - As the size of urban living spaces continues to shrink, the real estate industry needs to develop smart storage and spatial solutions for their clients.
3. Interior Design - Interior designers can incorporate space-saving compact appliances and in-counter designs to maximize functionality in small living areas.
