Bathrooms became even more important during the pandemic.
Covid-19 forced the world to adapt and change its way of life and work, and it has also influenced and shaped new design trends in our homes. Now, a home is not just a place to live – it's also a workspace, a gym, or a yoga studio, especially for young freelancers. The global health crisis and the need for more flexible and adaptable spaces will influence interior design trends in the coming years. Beyond living rooms and bedrooms, people are increasingly interested in designing truly relaxing bathroom spaces.
The bathroom has become a place to relax and "refresh" oneself during days of lockdown.
For a long time, the bathroom has been a space for "retreat" after a hard day, but now this need is even greater. People are beginning to realize the importance of it.home spa(Home spa) - a place that helps them completely relax, relieve stress, and recharge themselves, especially during lockdown periods when they have to stay at home for extended periods.
Simultaneously, demand for smart sanitary ware also increased significantly during the pandemic. TOTO, a Japanese bathroom fixture manufacturer, reported that demand for washlet toilet seats increased during the pandemic in Europe. These smart sanitary devices are also used in some hospitals due to their self-cleaning capabilities, hygienic design, and technology that can prevent the spread of germs.
How have bathroom decor and usage trends changed after the pandemic?
Having overcome the anxieties of the pandemic, it's clear that future bathroom design trends will revolve around factors such as health and relaxation.
Discussion during the meeting on the topicEnhancing the quality of lifeAccording to blogger An Phuong, a German brand specializing in bathroom furniture, her family is now gravitating towards contemporary bathroom furniture designs that are durable and feature advanced technology to improve their lives. "I'm also adapting to choosing competitively priced products instead of expensive ones, while ensuring versatility and added value for daily life," An Phuong said. "At this time, repairing or buying new furniture might not be as easy as before, so high-quality products at reasonable prices are redefining the standards of home interior design."
Many families tend to use products that are competitively priced but still guarantee quality.
Mr. Nguyen Huong, CEO of Duravit Vietnam, also agreed with that view, stating: “In recent years, I can see a clear improvement in the income level of Vietnamese people, especially young Vietnamese. However, the pandemic has increased the demand for high-end products at reasonable prices. The fact that the younger generation is increasingly choosing this trend also makes the furniture market more diverse.”
