Eco Compromise

Environment ambitions making it into daily routines

Implications - Consumers want to be more environmentally sensitive, yet they often get too swept up in their daily routines to notice. Since consumers want to be green, innovations that help bring awareness back to their eco footprints at times when they may be distracted, such as in the shower, are hot in demand.
Trend Themes
1. Chromotherapy Integration in Water Fixtures - Interior product designers are integrating chromotherapy, or light therapy, into water fixtures like shower heads and faucets, helping to relieve consumers' stress and infuse a spa-like quality into their homes.
2. Awareness-based Eco-friendly Designs - Innovative designs, such as segmented joint water taps, non-plug sinks, and appliance-toilet hybrids are attempting to raise consumer awareness and bring eco-conscious decision making to their routine decisions.
3. Water-saving Technologies - Water-saving shower heads and systems, water consumption tracking devices, and incinerating waterless toilets are all part of a trend in the home appliance industry to utilize new technologies that decrease water usage/eliminate water waste.
Industry Implications
1. Home Appliances - As the trend towards eco-consciousness continues, the home appliance industry is responding by creating innovative designs that allow for consumers to make eco-friendly decisions effortlessly.
2. Interior Design - As more and more consumers use their homes as sanctuaries and are adopting holistic principles, interior designers are integrating nature-based and wellness-centered elements into their designs.
3. Water Conservation - In the face of a growing water crisis in many regions, the drive towards water conservation and sustainability is becoming a hotbed of innovation and investment from various industries.
