Say what you want about millennials, but theres no denying that they have a knack for creating stylish and photogenic living spaces. As this generation continues to play a growing role in the luxury home market, it only makes sense that theyve begun to dictate whats in vogue and whats not. If youre looking to stage your home in a style that appeals to young, affluent homebuyers or simply want to keep your new residence up with the latest trends, here are a few interior design styles that millennials love.

Warm Minimalism
Theres much to love about minimalism, but for some people it just feels a little too cold. The obvious solution, of course, is to warm it up with earth tones, natural textures and handmade objects. Warm minimalism is one of the darlings of todays design world and is quite similar to another current favorite " Scandinavian farmhouse.

Maximalism
On the other end of the spectrum, some of us need a burst of color, texture and patterns. If you love collecting items from different places, time periods and design movements, then Maximalism is for you. As always, when creating a sense of contrast, its important to thoughtfully curate each space so that it feels intentional and not chaotic.

Grandmillennial
Grandmillennial surged onto the scene towards the end of 2019 when House Beautiful coined the term and perfectly captured the aesthetic. While some millennials gravitate toward sleek and modern interiors, there are those who prefer to decorate with an eclectic mix of antique objects, needlepoint pillows and chintz fabrics. You know, the way their grandmothers used to!

Transitional
Walking the line between traditional and contemporary, transitional style holds widespread appeal. Young and affluent homeowners who have an appreciation for classic aesthetics but still want to feel current are choosing this look to create sophisticated interiors.

Memphis Movement
The iconoclastic Memphis Movement of the 1980s has made a comeback of sorts in recent years. While its over-the-top and quirky look might not be exactly what were seeing now, its definitely influenced current tastes, like the ever-popular shade of millennial pink or the resurgence of terrazzo surfaces and graphic patterns.
