The trend: fit me first

It lands in four directions:

Physical comfort
No-bend designs, height-adjustable surfaces, low storage. Arrange furniture to reduce strain on your body.
Less housework
Stain-resistant floors, anti-fingerprint doors, hidden storage. Use materials and structure to cut daily chores.
Pet-friendly
Built-in cat nooks, sofas with pet passages, pet-friendly fabrics. Give cats and dogs their own zones.
Hobby-built-in
Display shelves, a plant corner, a home music nook. Build your hobbies into the room itself.
