Gen Z Interior Design - Pitch

SUBJ: Is Gen Z changing the Interior Design Industry?

Gen Z is shaping more than just social media trends, they’re redefining entire industries, including interior design. With an innate digital fluency, they’re rejecting the ‘millennial grey minimalism’ and embracing maximalism, personalization, and bold colors and textures. But this isn’t just another Gen Z social media trend, professional designers are already implementing these styles into their work.

Backing up this claim, is data from Roland DGA’s 2025 Interior Design Forecast (responses pulled from senior interior designers across the country), with some convincing stats including:

• 96% of designers report a move from clean, minimalist aesthetics to bold fabrics, layered patterns, and mixed materials.

• 36.4% are seeing rising demand for high-contrast, dramatic designs, with nearly one-third also noticing increased interest in unique, custom color blends.

• 76% say customers are requesting personalized elements, from custom wallpaper to tailored furniture fabrics.

As Gen Z’s influence grows, so does their impact on the design world, suggesting that this isn’t just a passing trend, but a glimpse into the future of interior spaces. Would you be interested in speaking with one of the design experts from the study to explore this shift further?
