Millennial Home Decor Trends for Your Apartment

Times change, and so do decor trends. Styles that may have once been on-trend can end up looking dated, but it can be tricky to navigate new concepts, and not everyone is going to love every style. Keep reading to explore some decor trends that are currently appealing to millennials to make their apartments feel fresh and homey.   

Think Outside the Lines

Say goodbye to the matchy-matchy furniture and patterns of our parents' day and instead say hello to some randomness! Millennials are ditching the concept of coordinated furniture sets and instead are playing with combinations of colors, patterns and vibes. Purchasing decor based on how it makes you feel rather than how well it goes with everything else will help liven up your beautiful apartment. 

Sprinkle Plants Everywhere

Millennials are enthusiastically embracing the greenery that plants add to their modern apartment homes. If there's an open spot on a table, countertop, or wall, it can be a great place to put a plant. If you don't have a green thumb, no worries. This trend doesn’t require live plants; in fact, fake plants and even pressed flowers can add the floral touch without the responsibility of watering and care taking. 

String Lights to Add Atmosphere

Bring your Christmas lights indoors if you want to hop on this Millennial trend! String-lights are a great way to warm up any room while adding a romantic touch. Whether you decide to string them around the base of your bed or utilize them to frame a mirror or picture frame, hop on this trend to add a bit of magic to your life.

Incorporate Whimsical Word Art

Millennials have rejected the typical “Live, Laugh, Love” signs and instead moved towards a cheeky and witty tone. When entering a trendy home, expect to see word-art welcome mats that say “Go Away” or throw pillows with Nicholas Cage’s face on them. These statement pieces are fun, silly, and great conversation-starters.
