Generational Design Trends and Designer Dupes đź’Ž

Trend Alert & Get The Look

This week we are talking about generational design trends and IKEA’s best designer dupes.

Today, we are taking a look at some of the questionable interior design trends among the different generations. Some are worse than others, and I’ll do my fair share of ripping them apart (just a bit). I’m also going to share some of IKEA’s best designer dupes, and no, they’re not brightly coloured and totally retro in style. Sometimes, we want a beautiful item, but at an affordable price point, so I’m going to do my best to deliver what I think are some of the best picks.

Also, if you missed out on the Fable Spring Sale, do not worry—it’s extended until May 12th. Click the link here to get 30% off all items.

You guys may have watched my two videos on generational design differences between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, and Boomers, and if you haven't, you should definitely go check them out (linked here and here). I think this topic is so interesting because you can see how trends move back and forth like a pendulum through the different generations. On a more personal note, this topic is fun because I get to recall items from my childhood and early adult years and remember how big or "in" they were. And between my employee, Eden, and I, we can cover all four generations since she's Gen Z with Gen X parents, and I'm a Millennial with Boomer parents. But enough rambling; let's chat about the different generational trends when it comes to wall treatments.
