New longing for simplicity: This is how Germans want their home
The return to simplicity: A new trend study illuminates the desire for relief in everyday life
In a time when stress and complexity dominate daily life, a current study by The Future shows: Project on behalf of Siemens household appliances that more and more Germans are striving for relief and simplicity. This investigation illuminates the profound needs of the population and offers numerous insights into the changes of our way of life.
The survey, which was carried out in June 2024 under 2,050 people, shows that a significant proportion of the population - 72 percent - finds the world exhausting and overwhelming. This perception has a significant impact on the desire to withdraw to private to find a feeling of calm and regeneration.
The home as a retreat
Your own home is increasingly perceived as a holy space of relaxation. The study illustrates that regeneration is very important in the private sector. 70 percent of the respondents express the desire to have to do less and just to be. This leads to the trend that activities such as television, streaming of series and listening to podcasts are preferred as popular opportunities for relaxation. The priority here is less on activity than on passive enjoyment.
kitchen innovation: technology for support
A remarkable aspect of the study is the role that the kitchen plays in this context. It is increasingly seen as a place that facilitates the stressed everyday life. High -quality household appliances not only promise functionality, but also valuable free time. A quarter of the respondents expect these technologies to simplify everyday life and create a supporting environment.
exhaustion and self -optimization
The causes of the perceived attitude to life are diverse. On the one hand, the constant challenges, such as social crises and climate change, are decisive. On the other hand, individual factors such as time pressure and the constant compulsion to optimize self -optimization contribute to this feeling. These two influencing factors mean that over a third of the household tasks are perceived as annoying.
Artificial intelligence in the private environment
An interesting knowledge of the study is the potential trust in artificial intelligence (AI) within your own four walls. Although 40 percent of the respondents tend to believe in the advantages of intelligent technologies, the trust in the private sector seems to be less pronounced than in the professional context. This can be partially attributed to the intimacy of the home, in which people are sensitive to new technologies.
conclusion
The results of the trend study "New longing for simplicity" reflect on social development towards more inner peace and relaxation in everyday life. The study reveals that there is a clear desire for relief, especially in the design of your own living space. The question remains how providers of household appliances will address these needs in the future in order to meet the requirements for simplicity and user -friendliness.
