These devices are necessities in most homes, but when they're not in use, they collect dust while taking up valuable counter space. Most home owners report only using their humidifier 1 to 6 months out of a year, prompting designer Huira Koo, to create a product that functions as a [humidifier during dry seasons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lif-humidifier) and a home accessory during humid seasons. When not in use, this multi-functional product can be deconstructed to double as a vase and bowl, adding elements of earthy comfort to any room. The terra-cotta base keeps fruits fresh and cool, while the [stylish water jug](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/serena-antigravity-humidifier) stands as the perfect size to house seasonal flowers. These designs serve as an example of a cost-effective product that provides the consumer with extended usability. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Multi-functional Devices:** Designing products with multiple purposes saves space and resources. - **Practical Art:** Combining practicality with art creates unique and useful products. - **Extended Usability:** Products with extended usability provide a better return on investment for consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Home decor industry can benefit from creating more products that serve as practical art. - **Home Appliances:** Home appliances industry can explore producing multi-functional devices that save space and materials. - **Gardening and Floral:** Gardening and floral industry can expand their product line to include vases and containers that do double duty as humidifiers and bowls. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Bold Humidifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balmuda-1.md) - [Living Moss Humidifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moss-humidifier-concept.md) - [Humidifying Stoneware Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kumo-humidifier.md) - [Plant-Powered Humidifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moss-humidifier.md) - [Slender Two-in-One Air Modifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humidifier-and-air-purifier.md) - [Cookware-Inspired Humidifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sot-humidifier.md) - [Air-Optimizing Humidifiers Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ph-air-manager.md) - [Triple-Purpose Air Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/root-humidity-conditioner.md) - [Sleek Contemporary Humidifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steamflow-humidifier.md)
