INDOOR GREENERY

MacroTrends

This trend is inspired by the current housing macrotrend of “non-commitment living.” Younger generations such as the millennials have begun shifting their living preferences from the traditional mortgage housing to month-by-month renting in luxurious, all-inclusive apartments and condominiums (AKA city centers and hubs).

Examples of "Millennial Housing"

Kale and Greenery are the main colors in this theme, but complimented with Primrose and Hazelnut to create the "outside" vibe.

MANUS x MACHINA

Manus translates to "hand" and Machina translates to "Machines." The power of humans and machines coming together to create something new. Consumers are recently introduced to the "Do It Yourself" trend, but often get too lazy to do it themselves. Brands are creating handcrafted interior decor to bring back the authenticity and uniqueness of the products.

Colors

This palette includes deep browns and nudes, yet includes red undertones to compliment. Creams are great colors for bases and working off of them with rustic decor.

Where is this coming from?

Summer is festival season. Popular festivals include Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Electric Forest. This is the time where kids can act and dress older, yet adults can act and dress like kids. We can see this moving into home already with tassels. Pom Poms are shown here in accessories, but can also be found on shoes and even tops.
