A TikTok video by a Denver real estate agent humorously critiques millennial home design trends, highlighting common features like black hardware and quartz countertops. While these elements are often seen as cringe-worthy by Gen Z, millennials defend their choices as both budget-conscious and stylish. The video sparked discussion about design preferences, with quartz countertops emerging as a popular, affordable alternative to granite. This reflects a broader trend where millennials are reshaping home aesthetics, contrasting them with those of previous generations.
As a major hallmark of millennial home style, the TikToker gave 'quartz countertops' a shout-out in the video, joking that millennials are drawn to the neutral-hued engineered stone 'because real stone is too expensive.'
The poster began by poking fun at the millennial need to add black accents to everything in their home, from pendant lights to bathroom hardware.
Several millennials were quick to defend their choice of black accents in the comments section, revealing that not only does the black hardware tend to be more budget-friendly, but it's also the antithesis of the 'cheap gold/brass doorknob of our parent's home.'
