Millennial Design Trends

As more millennials become homeowners, the more their styling trends are beginning to impact the home design market. The design world is taking notice to millennial’s buying preference in order to appeal to their generation. Since millennials tend to occupy smaller homes, they have more of a budget to renovate. Millennials that have bought a home in the last two years are currently in the process of updating, let’s see some millennial design trends!

Open Floor Plans

Floor plans are more open than ever before. Millennials like to socialize, and open floor plans let them do just that. Small kitchens make it difficult to entertain, but with an open concept, the kitchen appears much larger. Open floor plans typically consist of a kitchen and living room or dining room, creating a seamless trifecta of lounging, entertainment and food!

Eco-friendly materials are a huge trend; non-toxic paint, natural products, energy star appliances and LEED-compliant light fixtures. Green building materials are becoming more and more easily available as many companies are hopping on the “green” train.
