Search volume exceeds 4 million times! The most popular household item in 2020 is actually a mirror

Under the shadow of the epidemic, 2020 is particularly special. People's social activities are restricted and large gatherings are cancelled. Home life has become the norm, and household items have become more popular than ever before. The most surprising thing is that the search volume for mirrors has surged, even exceeding 4 million times, becoming the hottest household item.

According to data from US home furnishing retailer CB2 , mirrors were the most searched home item in 2020, with searches reaching 4 million times. In addition, on luxury e-commerce site 1stDibs , searches for mirrors as a whole have achieved double-digit growth, especially for mirrors with artistic appreciation value.

In psychology, looking in the mirror is a kind of "exposure effect". Most people have more or less narcissistic tendencies in their hearts and like taking selfies and looking in the mirror. Boring home life is suitable for expanding these interests and releasing one's nature. People often look in the mirror as a form of self-appreciation.

It is worth noting that the popularity of home fitness has also driven the growth of mirror demand. Mirrors are standard equipment for fitness, and the walls of gyms are covered with fitness mirrors, because in front of the mirror, people can not only see their body shape and posture, but also start training to correct their movements. Therefore, the popularity of home fitness has also driven the popularity of home fitness mirrors.

Mirrors can not only help people organize their appearance, but also serve as a decoration for the room and better fill the blank space on the wall. Emily B. Collins, curator of the New York Design Center, said: "Most people buy mirrors not necessarily for makeup, but as a substitute for art."

He also said: "We have seen a clear increase in mirror sales, from 18th century Rococo mirrors to mid-century modern mirrors decorated with enamel, consumers are demanding a wider range of mirrors. Mirrors were originally used mainly to reflect light, but in the past year, consumers have paid more attention to home design and mirrors have begun to decorate the home as works of art."

In addition to antique mirrors that are popular as works of art, bathroom mirrors, makeup mirrors, and home fitness mirrors for daily use are also very popular. During the epidemic, people have witnessed the hot trend of home furnishings, but few people will ignore mirrors as a home furnishing. Unexpectedly, small mirrors also have great business opportunities. Sellers can seize the opportunity in time and usher in a new round of explosive orders in the trend of home furnishings.
