Design Trends That Millennials Should Ditch

Millennials have long been at the forefront of shaping design trends, but some of these styles have overstayed their welcome and need to be retired for fresh, modern alternatives. For starters, overly industrial home decor featuring exposed pipes, Edison bulbs, and metal finishes has become more cliché than chic. Similarly, the obsession with millennial pink—though iconic—feels outdated and can make a space appear stagnant. Another trend ready to be left behind is the reliance on open shelving in kitchens, which often sacrifices practicality for aesthetics. It's also time to reconsider overly generic typography, like excessive use of Helvetica or cursive fonts that lack originality. Finally, the once-popular "live, laugh, love" wall art or other mass-produced inspirational quotes should give way to more personalized and unique decor pieces. By letting go of these overused styles, millennials can embrace fresh design choices that feel authentic and forward-thinking.
