In almost any color range, these new solid surfaces are not only going to look great, they’re going to allow you to never worry about charging your device again. In an age where connectivity is paramount, having a dynamic environment is a must. Instead of running around the house attempting to get your phone charger, imagine just placing it on the kitchen counter to charge as you cook dinner. The DuPont Corian solid surfaces give you more options for how you schedule your day—they essentially increase your efficiency while still providing their primary function. It’s exciting to think of just how connected homes will be in the future. Whether it’s completely automated daily routines, or even just multi-function gadgets, the traditional household is slowly fading. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 66% | 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) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Wirelessly Charging Surfaces:** The integration of wireless charging technology into everyday surfaces provides convenience and eliminates the need for traditional charging methods. - **Connected Homes:** The increasing connectivity of household items and automation of daily routines is transforming the traditional concept of a home. - **Multi-function Gadgets:** The development of devices that serve multiple purposes and functions is enhancing efficiency and convenience for consumers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Improvement:** The home improvement industry can capitalize on the trend of wirelessly charging surfaces by offering innovative products and solutions to homeowners. - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry has an opportunity to integrate wireless charging technology into a wide range of devices, making charging more seamless and user-friendly. - **Smart Home Technology:** The smart home technology industry can leverage the trend of connected homes to create innovative products and systems that enhance automation and connectivity within households. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wireless Charging Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freepower.md) - [Desk-Compatible Wireless Charger Pads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-charger.md) - [Miniature Wireless Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neatcharge.md) - [Naturalistic Stone Device Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/einova-charging-stone.md) - [Intelligent Wireless Charging Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carousel-series.md) - [Future-Facing Charging Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-charger-concepts.md) - [Decorative Device Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tricharge-wireless-charger-concept.md) - [Minimalist Tech-Charging Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adap-table.md) - [Wireless Peripheral-Charging Mousepads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powermat-pro-duo.md)
