It basically aimed to create objects and buildings which were appropriate for mass manufacture -so used comparatively simplistic forms with little decoration which could be made quickly and efficiently. But they also believed that objects should be functional, and meet the demands of society.
Some followers aimed to create a 'universal aesthetic' or an 'International style' suitable for all countries, regardless of culture/tradition.

I think the point is, that before the Bauhaus, there was no design. products manufactured were merely functional, it wasn't felt important that they looked good. or that people needed to feel good by owning them. The Bauhaus changed all that. they created a new system which is called the "Design Principle" which is as valid for product design, tableware, fashion design and even art and illustration. the way you are taught art at school, college or university is based on the principles created at the Bauhaus. The Design Principle is used to such an extent today that it has become subliminal to most people, and taken for granted.
