Every generation has its signature aesthetic — but millennials? Millennials really committed. From all-gray homes to geometric everything, live-edge wood, subway tile, and enough houseplants to qualify as indoor botanists, millennials built an entire identity out of Pinterest boards and Architectural Digest YouTube tours.
And sure, Gen Z loves to roast the chalkboard walls, Edison bulbs, and farmhouse sinks — but some millennial trends? They were iconic. They were cozy. They were practical.
So we want to know: What millennial design trend will you defend with your whole chest?
Maybe you’ll always stand by gray interiors — walls, floors, couches, rugs. A soothing grayscale cocoon.
Maybe you unapologetically love a white subway tile kitchen with matte black fixtures and a bright quartz countertop.
Maybe your gallery wall is still the pride of your home — mixed frames, inspirational typography, and all.
Maybe you believe open concept wasn’t a mistake — it made tiny apartments feel huge.
Maybe your succulent collection once numbered in the dozens and you still think that was a personality.
Maybe you’ll defend Edison bulbs, hexagon tiles, farmhouse sinks, chalkboard walls, resin coffee tables, or Himalayan salt lamps.
Or maybe you’ll die on the hill that “no carpet anywhere” is the superior way to live.
Millennial décor may have been heavily influenced by Pinterest algorithms, but honestly? Maybe there’s something there.
So tell us: What millennial home, décor, or design trend do you still absolutely love — and refuse to give up, no matter what other generations or trends say?
