As the new year approaches, the home consumption market is showing a hot trend. Recently, a reporter from Yangcheng Evening News visited home furnishing stores such as IKEA, Surprisingly Home, and Louvre in Guangzhou and found that more and more consumers are choosing to purchase new kitchenware, kitchen and bathroom appliances, and festive home accessories before the Spring Festival to put on new clothes for their homes.

At the same time, technology driven smart products have attracted much attention in the home market, with smart home items such as floor cleaning robots, smart makeup mirrors, and fully automatic toilets becoming the "new favorites" of the New Year. Industry insiders say that compared to previous market conditions, consumers before the Spring Festival are more concerned about the service and quality of products, such as timely logistics delivery and installation efficiency, product maintenance during the Spring Festival period, etc. Based on the order volume of smart home products and emerging services, the home decoration market is full of warmth.

Smart homes are popular, and whole house customization is favored

Mr. Zhang, who lives in Tianhe District, Guangzhou, told reporters that he has been using the toilet at home for more than ten years and has decided to buy a new smart toilet during the recent 'trade in' promotion. He found a product priced at 3400 yuan at Guangzhou Surprisingly Home and can save about 500 yuan through the 'trade in' policy.

When the reporter visited some commercial districts and home furnishing stores in Guangzhou, it was found that the most obvious feature of this year's New Year's goods consumption is the changing preferences of the main consumer group, and more consumers' demand is for the purchase of home smart products. After walking around major shopping malls, the reporter found that there are a variety of smart home appliances. The AI refrigerator with the slogan "Intelligent Internet Dialogue for the Future" can achieve functions such as human-machine dialogue and menu management. The screen displays AI washing robots working, AI range hoods and stoves waving their hands to "smoke" and link with automatic cooking pots... AI homes are entering the lives of hundreds of households and becoming the new favorite of consumers.

In addition to the popularity of smart homes, whole house customization has also increased the heat of the home decoration market. Ms. Wang, who is shopping for home furnishings at Guangzhou Louvre Home Furnishings, told reporters, "I just received the keys to my new house two months ago. Due to my busy work schedule, I didn't have time to choose and purchase various decorative materials and home furnishings. So I wanted to find a whole house customization merchant to provide one-stop services for home decoration, home furnishings, and home appliances based on the structure and size of the new house. I hope to move into my new home as soon as possible before and after the New Year." The reporter learned from Guangzhou Louvre Home Furnishings that consumers are keen on choosing suitable design styles and materials according to their needs and preferences. The market demand for whole house customization is increasing day by day, and many high-end customized home furnishing brands have welcomed a wave of popularity before the New Year.
