(Newswire.net — November 18, 2018) — Born in the age of emerging social media and pop culture, the millennial’s taste for home décor is slowly conquering the interior design scene. If you want a home that reflects the 20- to 30- something statement, try these ways to design your wall in full millennial style:
- Create a gallery wall. Millennials crave work-life balance. Seizing career opportunities and travel time solo or in groups, whenever they are given a chance. They also love to document their milestones and memorable trips through vivid and well-taken photos that capture the essence of the moment. Creating a gallery wall sparks a millennial feel where you can showcase the city map of your recent travel or display your bonding time with peers.
- Add wall planters. Nature is a constantly-observed addition to millennial homes and their walls are of no exception. Grow herbs or plant succulents and watch [a part of] your wall literally come to life. Whether placed in mason jars, in tiers, or in grooves, there are many indoor wall planter styles that you can choose from to bring the millennials’ love for the green right at the comforts of your own home.
- Standout with decals and statement walls. When it comes to showing their personalities and taste, millennials seem to have it all figured out. This personal stamp is reflected in every aspect of their homes, including their walls. Going for a millennial wall design can be as easy as turning any wall into a statement wall. Adding decals as wall accents is also a great alternative if you are too shy to go all out but still want to be bold with your wall décor.
- Mirror-out minimalism. There is no doubt that millennials go minimal in almost every aspect of their lives. Inside their homes, they want a clutter-free sanctuary where they can unwind after a long day’s work. Seeing that the millennial generation is inclined to live in relatively smaller areas (think studio apartments and one-bedroom condominiums), they turn to pieces that work best for tighter spaces. You too can adapt this millennial space-savvy and minimalistic approach. Simply prop up statement mirrors in your home to instantly brighten up the place and give it more depth with a larger feel.
- Rewind with retro and reclaimed styles. Walk inside a millennial’s home and get an instant nostalgic feel, despite its inhabitants modern ways. When it comes to walls, adopting the millennials’ industrial modern vibe is an easy feat if you know which items to use. Go for wooden and other materials that bring out a rustic feel. Ride the trend and get your own wooden panels or take inspiration from millennial walls made out of exposed old brick walls.
- Get busy with DIY wall art. The generation Y loves a good old hack or two because they have been wired to be budget savvy and efficient. So, DIY tricks are a must-know. Nothing else brings out individuality and personal style better than a wall filled with your own paintings and colorful canvases.
