Bathrooms become more important during the epidemic season
Covid-19 has forced the world to adapt and change the way we live and work, and it has also influenced and shaped new design trends in our homes. Now, the home is not just a place to live - it is also an office, a gym or a yoga room, especially for young people who do freelance work. The global health crisis and the need for more flexible and adaptable spaces will influence interior design trends in the coming years. Not only the living room and bedroom, people are increasingly interested in designing a truly relaxing bathroom space.
The bathroom has become a place to relax and refresh yourself during the days of social distancing.
The bathroom has long been a place to “take refuge” after a hard day, but now this need is even greater. People are beginning to realize the importance ofhome spa(home spa) - a place that helps them completely relax, relieve stress, and recharge their batteries, especially during social distancing and having to stay at home for a long time.
At the same time, demand for smart toilets has also increased significantly during the pandemic. Japanese bathroom manufacturer TOTO said that demand for its washlet toilet seats has increased during the pandemic in Europe. These smart toilets are also used in some hospitals because of their self-cleaning ability, hygienic design and technology that can prevent the spread of germs.
How have bathroom decor and usage trends changed after the pandemic?
Through the concerns of the pandemic, it can be seen that the upcoming bathroom design trends will revolve around factors such as health and relaxation experiences.
Exchange in discussion session with the topicEnhance the value of lifeof Duravit - a German brand specializing in bathroom furniture, blogger An Phuong said that her family has started to look towards bathroom furniture products with contemporary designs, sustainable quality as well as high-end technology to improve life. "I am also adapting to choosing products with competitive prices instead of expensive products, while ensuring flexibility and bringing more value to daily life," An Phuong said. "In this time, repairing or buying new furniture may not be as easy as before, so high-quality products at reasonable costs will redefine the standards of home interiors."
Many families tend to use products with competitive prices but still ensure quality.
Mr. Nguyen Huong - Managing Director of Duravit Vietnam also agrees with that view, he said: “In recent years, I can see a clear progress in the income level of Vietnamese people, especially young Vietnamese people. However, the pandemic has increased the demand for high-end products at reasonable costs. With the younger generation choosing this trend more, it also makes the furniture market more diverse”.
Affordable Luxury - the latest bathroom design trend introduced to Vietnam
Sharing about two popular trends in choosing bathroom equipment, Mr. Nguyen Huong said the first trend isOriginal Luxury, a perfect choice for homeowners who care about product quality as well as a sense of relaxation at home, thanks to products using high-quality materials and sophisticated designs.
Another trend,Affordable Luxury, has become more popular during the pandemic thanks to the change in Vietnamese users' habits. With Affordable Luxury, instead of choosing expensive products, users can now switch to more reasonably priced items that still bring flexibility, sustainability and aesthetics to the living space.
“The Affordable Luxury trend also makes us understand that Vietnamese people today care a lot about products with quality corresponding to the amount of money they spend. They do not only buy products because of the reputation of a brand, but also want to experience real quality” - Mr. Nguyen Huong added.
From there, Duravit took a closer look at this trend and realized that homeowners wanted to find a long-term companion to improve their daily lives. That is also the reason why the Duravit brand has developed a complete bathroom collection D-Neo for 2021 with reasonable prices, at the same time, providing flexibility in all styles, to suit the needs of family members as well as diverse lifestyles.
a collection for young families
D-Neo is the latest collection in the Affordable Luxury style launched by Duravit in Vietnam, helping consumers to own bathroom furniture at mid-range prices. With this collection, Duravit combines the typical elements of the Original Luxury trend into D-Neo, so customers can still experience products with high quality, iconic design and unique innovation. The collection has 9 product categories and 4 distinct styles: Minimal, Monochrome, Pop and Boho.
The first style, Minimal, will be a suitable choice for homeowners who prefer a neat, minimalist but equally elegant design.
The Monochrome range is for families who love pleasing, consistently coordinated colour palettes.
Pop style will bring a colorful bathroom experience with bright designs and useful products.
For nature-loving souls, Boho will be a perfect style thanks to its white surface, which facilitates the combination with eco-friendly accessories.
