Today there are many opinions regarding the so-called millennial generation and their lifestyle. Many of them are very positive, however, others not so much. When referring to the way of life of this generation, one’s apartment should definitely show minimalist decoration and functionality.
For generation Y, an apartment is more sought after than to a house. Not just any apartment is appropriate, though. Some of the features that cannot be missing are the integrated and wide spaces, as well as places of entertainment. The importance of living where there are meeting spaces and equipment is of paramount importance. This includes terraces, parking for bicycles among others.
Millennials tend to be freelancers since they carry the idea of ​​being autonomous entrepreneurs.
This implies the fact of being their own bosses. They manage their time and space according to their needs, working on their tasks in mixed places. For that reason, the transition from one environment to another should be simple, and with minimalist decor.
The table that in many conventional homes would be used exclusively as the place to eat, would become the workplace or meeting place. The fact that functional decoration is a primary factor in a millennial house, integrated kitchens are the favorites; it allows cooking to become an activity to share.
The visual plays a very important role in the homes of this generation.
That is why the appliances and wireless devices are elementary. Having wireless devices not only makes everything simple to clean, but also helps keep the decoration minimalist and functional without the use of cables.
With regards to the furniture, apart from offering comfort, they must incorporate wireless recharging devices. This is so that electronic devices are always in optimal state of charge without the need for wiring in the area.
Despite being very connected with technology, generation Y incorporates sustainability into its lifestyle.
For this, on many occasions, integrated and green spaces are created. These can be inside the apartment in the form of a vertical garden, or on the balconies.Â
Millennials also rest, and for them the bedroom is an important place, as for almost all of us. The bed would be the main object of the room so it must be the most attractive point. To achieve this, the use of different textures may be the solution. As we have mentioned, the minimalist and functional decoration are an important part, so a minimal amount of objects will make the atmosphere much more visually pleasing.
When it refers to the decoration of the apartment the white colour is predominant.
Not only does it generate tranquility, but a feeling of being in a wider space due to the lighting it helps create.
These are some of the things that can not be missing in a millennial’s apartment.
Remember that the lifestyle of this generation must have functionality, integrated spaces, and minimalism since each environment plays a very important role.Â
