Are you a millennial redesigning your home? Are you going to sell your house to millennials? Then this roundup is for you – we’ve gathered some tips and ideas that every millennial will love, and we are talking about living rooms.
Styles
The most popular styles among millennials are Scandinavian, mid-century modern, contemporary and boho – you may rock a mid-century modern room sprucing it up with boho touches, for example. Scandi rooms can be also refreshed with a bit of boho or you can mix mid-century modern and Nordic decor. Contemporary style is beautiful as it is, though you may accent it with touches of some other styles, too.

Furniture
As mid-century modern is the most loved by millennials style, if you take furniture in the same style, that will be a great idea.

Decor
What decor should there be in a millennial living room? First of all, wall art – a gallery wall or just some pretty artworks, whether they are statement or not, are a perfect addition. Second, 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’s a must that creates a mood. String lights can be also included for more coziness but integrate them seamlessly – if they don’t fit, just skip this idea. Get inspired!
