Capable of keeping record collections large and small stylishly on display, the unit features a three by three design that can be augmented to suit specific preferences or need. Every inch of living space is becoming coveted as the average size of a home is continuing to shrink, so the Korgis Record Bookshelf Unit takes this into account with a [customizable aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brickbox-modular-shelving). Each cube section within the unit can be used for storage of [vinyl records](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vs01-bluetooth-vertical-turntable) or for other household items to further merge the vintage medium with the modern lifestyle. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Vinyl Record Decor:** Opportunity for creating new vinyl record-inspired decor items for the modern home. - **Modular Storage Units:** Opportunity for customizable, modular storage units in small living spaces. - **Vintage-meets-modern Design:** Opportunity for creating design that merges vintage and modern aesthetics. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for home decor companies to create vinyl record-inspired decor items. - **Furniture:** Opportunity for furniture companies to create modular, customizable storage units. - **Design:** Opportunity for designers to create products that merge vintage and modern aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modernist Record Collection Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toneoptic-rpm.md) - [Vinyl Record Credenzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geology-studio.md) - [Contemporary Stereo Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-record-bureau.md) - [Translucent Record Storage Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aurala120a.md) - [Room-Dividing Bookshelf Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frquence-shelf.md) - [Vertical Space-Saving Record Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertical-vinyl-record-player.md) - [Book-Storing Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookgroove-bookrack.md) - [Mid-Century Record Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wrensilva.md) - [Retro-Modern Turntable Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertical-turntable-concept.md)
