Generation Z (or Gen Z for short), colloquially also known as zoomers, is the demographic cohort succeeding Millennials and preceding Generation Alpha. These are people born between late 1996 and 2010.
As the first social generation to have grown up with access to the Internet and portable digital technology from a young age, members of Generation Z have been dubbed “digital natives”. Generation Z tends to live more slowly than their predecessors when they were their age. Around the world, members of Generation Z are spending more time on electronic devices and less time reading books than before. So, how can a space of such a person look?
Instagrammable
The first and most important point is that a bedroom of a zoomer should be Instagrammable. If you can’t take pics in your bedroom, you should definitely renovate it! As zoomers spend a lot of time (if not all) in gadgets, they are sure to post a lot of pics, too, and a space where they spend much time should be Instagram-worthy. The same goes to renovations and new items – if it doesn’t look good in the picture, then why buying it?

DIY
Zoomers like Millennials love good DIYs, maybe a bit less but still. A good DIY in your bedroom can make it unique and very personalized, whatever it is – a chair, a desk, some artworks, a gallery wall or some other decor, make sure to DIY something.

Gen Z Yellow
If pink was a truly millennial thing, for Generation Z it’s yellow. Yellow is gender neutral, it has plenty of pretty shades to go for, from pale yellows to mustard, and can be easily incorporated into bedroom decor with pillows, blankets, curtains, accent walls, artworks and much more.
