2026 The Age of Intention
2026 will see householders ‘zoom out’ of their everyday lives, looking to gain a deeper perspective and purpose. After a period of uncertainty and crisis fatigue, a sense of optimism emerges, as creativity, escapism and a feeling of awe fuel the desire for positive change.
A sense of intention comes into play. We see householders making decisions with informed purpose, choosing carefully what to engage with, and how to spend their time and money – removing anything that no longer aligns with their purpose or wellbeing.
