Thrifty Home Décor

Searches on Pinterest for thrifted home décor are up by a whopping 308%. And we’re on board with this trend for multiple reasons.

Plus, vintage pieces are sure to be way more unique and personal than the same old IKEA furniture that everyone has.

Low-Waste Living & Product Swaps

Another trend that we can well and truly get behind, searches for low-waste living were up by 446%. With zero-waste and bulk-buy stores in Hong Kong on the rise, this trend has been gaining popularity in recent years and we’re more than happy to see this continuing. Another eco trend that’s on the rise is product swaps – with searches up 172%.
