Millennial renters and first-time buyers are looking for properties that they can move into as quickly as possible. Their busy lifestyles prioritise a smooth moving transition with a home that reflects their personality over homes with ‘potential’ to redecorate. Millennials are looking for interior design that will make their friends jaws drop when they come around for dinner parties. 

 

We’ve narrowed down the top interior design trends for property development to target millennials.

Showstopper focal pieces 

It’s no secret that millennials love to take photos of where they are to show off on their Instagram. Especially if they can brag that it is their home. To appeal, it is important to include a wow-worthy centrepiece to your property. Whether that be an art deco chandelier or grand electric fireplaces. 

Working with a smaller location? Scale your ideas down to size and look for statement pendulums to hang over the dining table. Even unique wall art will only take up minor space on your wall and can have maximum impact. In an increasingly saturated market, an eye-catching statement in interior design can help your property go from just another property on the market to something more memorable.

Natural materials

 

Marble had its moment for the past couple of years, but interior designers should take heed of other natural materials to make their properties pop this year. In light of nature and wellbeing becoming increasingly relevant for millennials, expect to see natural stones and crystals such as quartz and amethyst as accents in homes such as counter tops and door handles

 

An affordable approach to the natural finish trend is terrazzo - a composite material made from chips of marble, glass, granite and set in cement or resin. Because of the way it is created, interior designers can find terrazzo in practically every colour, making it easy to incorporate into any home’s theme and colour scheme.

Return of the curves 

The Art Deco revival has no sign of stopping this year. Expect to see luxurious, velvet armchairs of rounded shapes in hues of blush, emerald green and vibrant yellows. Keep costs low by opting for faux or real leather that is easy to wipe clean. 

Conclusion 

When incorporating new trends into your property development, remember to bear in mind the functionality of the home. If they are flats for short-term renters, opt for wood or hard surfaces that will age slower than carpet. Likewise, low hanging statement pendulums might be impractical if your property has low ceilings. So long as any interior design rejuvenation has synergy with your properties, then prepare to excite your prospective renters and buyers in the upcoming year.
