TOP 3 TRENDS AND THEMES IN FEBRUARY
PERIOD DRAMAS
Thanks Bridgerton. Since the airing of one of Netflix's most successful series to date, consumers have become obsessed with period dramas (us included). Britbox (the UK's answer to Netflix), has reported a six-fold increase in viewings across most period dramas on the platform in the first week of January compared with pre-Christmas. Because of this, it will come as no surprise that there will likely be a continued resurgence in re-watching period dramas as well as consumers indulging in reading the classics too. And we don't think this will just affect the media we consume. We also believe there will be an increase in floral and 18th century inspired decor too. Um, helloooo wisteria!
FAMILY VALUES
Whether you're spending every spare hour you have home-schooling or wishing you could spend time with your loved ones, this pandemic has certainly taught us the importance of family.
With the UK lockdown set to continue for most of next month, we think this will be a big trend and focus and one businesses should tap into with their upcoming content and social media.
DIGITAL DECOR
Spending so much time inside over the last year saw a huge surge in home decor trends and buying habits. But this year, Pinterest are predicting digital decor will be the new trend with Gen Z and Millennial consumers wanting to dress up their laptops and phones with statement art and stickers.
Considering the amount of time we're spending on our digital devices, we see this happening sooner rather than later.
