While sustainability and accountability have gained consumer focus, leading to more mindful purchasing decisions, another priority has emerged: creating sanctuary spaces within homes as people spend increased time indoors.
Simple, restful environments featuring natural materials and earthy, organic color schemes offer psychological refuge. Sustainable and organic materials reinforce this aesthetic and will significantly influence product development strategy going forward.
Look For Sustainable Material Innovations
Industrial waste and by-products are receiving renewed purpose through innovative product development, supporting circular economy principles. RPET, derived from recycled plastic bottles, reduces ocean and landfill contamination while producing textiles mimicking natural fibers and faux materials.
Go For Natural And Clean
In response to health concerns, consumers prefer products offering antimicrobial features and easy maintenance. Hemp, flax, and bamboo possess inherent antimicrobial qualities used historically for sanitation purposes.
Embrace Green
Green has emerged as the preferred decorative color for 2021, contrasting with prior grayscale aesthetics. Nature-inspired patterns continue adorning textiles as wellness-focused homeowners commit to integrating greenery long-term.
