The Global Wellness Summit held in November this year brought together wellness experts to discuss how the pandemic is shaking up the “wellness concept” and what they predict will be the big wellness trends for 2021.
Two of the trends they highlighted are of particular interest to the home improvement sector :-
Home Wellness
The summit agreed that bringing all kinds of wellness into our home is a trend that has been ‘dramatically amplified’ by Covid-19
We’re spending so much more time in our homes, so companies are looking to help us optimize that space, specifically as a wellness refuge

Air quality is highlighted as a key element of home wellness. We are saying goodbye to the sealed, air-conditioned home and opening windows, eating outside; very basic pleasures and behaviors that generate wellness.

The research finds that communities experiencing high levels of environmental and psychosocial stress suffer biological inequality, and it’s this kind of research that could provide a roadmap for housing developers to reimagine homes, workplaces and streets.
It is also predicted that we will see a burst of tech innovation around hygienic, pathogen-fighting homes, to create “pandemic-proof properties” that use technology to protect us from harmful bacteria and viruses.
At Home Beauty
The summit expects the at-home, self-care beauty trend will reach new heights in 2021, with people seeking out beauty technologies and treatments that they can execute at home.
