An upcoming trend that will be repeating and continuing to gain momentum is essentialism. According to the High Point Market website writer Jaye Mize “Be it heirlooms or the flotsam and jetsam of the tchotchkes du jour, Millennials have less of a desire to accumulate. Rather, they are looking for fewer, better things to fit their needs. Cluttered, fast-paced urban lifestyles create a demand for products that streamline routines and adjust to smaller, multi-functional spaces. This dramatic divergence from post-war, consumerist behavior has driven a major boost in modular design, integrated technology, and capacity for customization.”
This is a movement that has brought me to reconsider a lot of the things that I consume and bring into my life. Spaces with fewer items feel cleaner and more calm for me, and as it turns out many others. People experimenting with essentialism and minimalism is a good sign that the consumerism we have had for so long is being questioned. This bleeds over into the design of our interiors and the objects and furniture we choose to fill them with. This movement also helps with environmentalism and with a resurgence of seeking out quality goods that will last instead of always just choosing the best price on objects that fall apart quickly because they are also made cheaply.
