[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Flat-sharing<\/strong>, something that millennials are not unfamiliar with, has seen an upward trend<\/strong> in recent times.\u00a0Indeed, it is quite a norm<\/strong> nowadays to see two or more people live in the same property together.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As its name suggests, a flatshare refers to a shared accommodation<\/strong> with rooms to rent. Everyone will have their own bedroom but the other rooms in the house will be shared.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Constitute a significant part<\/strong> of tenant population today, millennials will play a big part in the styles and finishes<\/strong> of their home,\u00a0as they contribute fresh ideas and unique perspectives<\/strong> in this realm.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This time, we particularly delve into several kitchen design trends<\/strong> pioneered by this generation. We see how they make<\/span> the heart of the home<\/strong><\/a> both functional and aesthetically pleasing<\/strong> in their own way.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Minimalistic Design<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A key factor<\/strong> that defines millennial generation today is their <\/span>desire for<\/span> an organized kitchen<\/a><\/strong>. Millennials prefer functionality<\/strong> above all and believe that minimalistic design can help keep them free from all clutter<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Most importantly, this is a flatshare we are talking about. Thus,<\/span>\u00a0more spaciousness<\/strong><\/a> and more creative uses of space<\/strong> are definitely necessary. This is to ensure each flatmate has sufficient space of their own without messing up<\/strong> the entire flatshare.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stainless-Steel Appliances<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Colorful kitchen cabinets <\/strong>and appliances, while being deadly attractive, can be a<\/span> major and expensive<\/strong><\/a> design commitment for most millennials today.\u00a0In this case, stainless-steel appliances<\/strong> can be a better alternative.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While their popularity continues to remain high amongst others, new variations<\/strong> with a matte finish or slightly darker tone make our life easier to keep them clean and free of fingerprints<\/strong>.\u00a0On top of that, the new stainless-steel appliances still look good enough with the older variations so<\/span> a complete replacement<\/strong><\/a> is not necessary in the short term.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today, millenials take a shine to <\/span>sustainable and<\/span> natural materials<\/a><\/strong> in their kitchen design. Countertops made of<\/span>\u00a0quartz<\/strong><\/a> and<\/span> Caesarstone<\/strong><\/a> are fascinating to them because they are environmentally friendly<\/strong> and also easy to maintain<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Speaking of which, this generation is eagerly reconnecting with nature<\/strong> by utilizing organic materials<\/strong>. From reclaimed hardwood floors<\/strong>\u00a0to<\/span>\u00a0natural stone walls<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0millennials are doing this in the best way they can to\u00a0add more vividness<\/strong> to their living space.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Built-In Storage<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Millennials are most likely to be intrigued by new kitchen designs that come with a complete built-in organization system\u00a0<\/strong>with efficient and ample storage space.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this case, we highly recommend to incorporate\u00a0modular furniture<\/strong> and\u00a0hidden storage units<\/strong>\u00a0in the flatshare kitchen design so everything is put in place in an orderly manner.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In addition, it is also their expectation for organized spaces to be visually beautiful<\/strong>.\u00a0Automated shelving<\/strong> and stacked drawers<\/strong>\u00a0are particularly appealing to young people who live in a flatshare.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Energy efficiency<\/strong><\/a> has come a long way in recent years. It is often one of the biggest things<\/strong> millennials look out for when buying a new appliance.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Having said that,\u00a0 millennials are, more than ever, aware of emerging environmental issues<\/strong> that our world is facing today. In essence, this has prompted them to invest in highly efficient appliances<\/strong> to save energy and reduce emissions<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From refrigerators, washing machines, water heaters, dishwashers and so on, they are just so many energy efficient appliances that they can put into consideration to help and protect our Mother Earth<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On top of that, young individuals who are<\/span>\u00a0living on a<\/strong>\u00a0budget<\/strong><\/a> can save a lot of money<\/strong> spent on paying bills by embracing energy efficiency. Energy efficient appliances are the only way to achieve this goal<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As a wrap-up, the millennial generation today values most\u00a0functionality<\/strong>, convenience<\/strong> and efficiency<\/strong>. This could be possibly why<\/span> minimalistic design<\/strong><\/a>, functional storage<\/strong> and energy-saving appliances<\/strong> are essential kitchen features for millennial flatsharers.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They also put utmost consideration to\u00a0sustainability<\/strong> whenever they can. While environmental impact is driving the selection of materials, they are also concerned about<\/span> durability<\/a> and functionality<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally, we hope this blog has highlighted some useful kitchen design tips<\/strong> for fellow millennial flatsharers or those who are planning to move into a flatshare in near future.<\/span><\/p>\n
