Are you a Millennial redesigning your home? Are you selling your home to Millennials? Then this roundup is for you – we’ve put together some tips and ideas that every millennial will love, and we’re talking about living rooms.

styles

The most popular styles among Millennials are Scandinavian, Mid-Century Modern, Contemporary and Boho – for example, you can rock a Mid-Century Modern room and jazz it up with Boho accents. Scandi rooms can also be refreshed with a bit of boho, or you can combine mid-century modern and Nordic decor. Contemporary style is beautiful as is, but you can also accentuate it with accents from other styles.

Furniture

Since mid-century modern style is the most popular style among millennials, it is a great idea to pick up furniture in the same style. Firstly, millennials will love it, and secondly, such furniture is quite timeless and can also be easily integrated into many other styles, especially if we take seating. Also, Millennials love hacks and a few IKEA furniture hacks are perfect for a living room if you have them, or maybe some simple IKEA furniture, Millennials will love it.

decor

What furnishings should be present in a millennial living room? First of all, wall art – a gallery wall or just some pretty pieces of art, whether meaningful or not – are a perfect addition. Secondly, potted plants. Potted greenery is actually a very good idea for any interior as it refreshes the space and is sustainable, and for a millennial it is a must-have that sets the mood. For more coziness, fairy lights can also be included, but these can be integrated seamlessly – if they don’t fit, just skip this idea. Get inspired!
