Design Tip: Trends for Baby Boomers Part I
Now that the peak of baby boomers are turning 50, they are creating a new model of adulthood and a new emphasis in their home decor.
Boomers like to be different with eclectic pieces, including items picked up during travel. Worldly boomers want guests to know where their furnishings originated.
Not keeping up with the Joneses is how boomers are keeping up, i.e., by being different. Style-defining color from relaxed neutrals to energetic (and retro) orange and lime green and shades of red and yellow are boomer favorites that cross state and style lines.
This generation wants upscale living with less complication, and they want their homes to be manageable, temperate, affordable, flexible and accessible with the option of aging in place.
